Description

On September 28, 1977, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 2188 filed a grievance with the Western Electric Company. The union claimed that all of the ""Group I Mechanics"" in a certain department about forty employees should be reclassified as ""Group II Machinists"" because of the work the company had them performing. The company denied the grievance by letter of January 11, 1978, and the union made a timely demand for arbitration by letter of January 27, 1978. In a letter dated March 21, 1979, the company took the position that the group claim was not arbitrable.1 The union brought this suit to compel arbitration. Both sides moved for summary judgment. The district court granted summary judgment to the company, relying entirely on the terms of two collective bargaining agreements between the union and the company.
