Roberts v. Williams, __Misc. 3d__ (N.Y. Co. Feb. 13, 2008)(registration required), is a very interesting public sector labor case. D.C. 37 in New York represents 56 different local affiliates. When a dispute about merit pay arose, one of these affiliates sought to arbitrate. The court held that since the local was not a party to the CBA, it could not commence arbitration. The interesting aspect of this decision is that a stay was not sought by the employer; rather it was sought by the union.
