Court denied motion for summary judgment and granted plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, holding that there was no explicit exclusion or positive assurance that parties intended to exclude unescorted access decisions from arbitration. Court found that arbitration clause was broad enough to trigger a presumption of arbitrability. Court found that defendant’s internal review processes for this issue did not provide assurance of a purposeful intent to exclude those determinations from arbitration, and that prior arbitral awards finding to the contrary, particularly involving different parties and arbitration agreements, were not precedential. -The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers v. Nextera Energy, 2016
