Description
The issue before us in this case is whether Balmoral Racing Club, Inc. and Balmoral Park Trot, Inc. (collectively Balmoral) must arbitrate a labor dispute between itself and IBEW Local 176 (Local 176) arising out of Balmorals brief direct employment of certain camera workers. As is normal with such cases, the answer depends on the language of the agreement--both its arbitration clause and other related provisions. In addition, in this particular instance the resolution of the arbitrability question is closely tied to the merits of the underlying dispute. That is because the central question--whether the camera workers were covered by the relevant agreement--is also the most important issue for the merits of the dispute. Our responsibility, however, is limited to the arbitrability issue, even if there are some inevitable overlaps between that and the merits. The district court found that the relevant workers fell within the scope of a collective bargaining agreement that Balmoral had with Local 176 and that the dispute is therefore arbitrable; it therefore dismissed the case entirely. We agree and accordingly affirm the district courts judgment.
