United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union, AFL-CIO, CLC,\u00a0<\/em>___F.3d___ (3d Cir. Dec. 30, 2019). This case exemplified one of the rare situations in which the courts have decided to exercise authority and \u201ccorrect\u201d arbitration awards that have appeared to be blatantly unfair, which could arise from a variety of reasons. This recent decision has implications for how practitioners understand the court system and arbitration system to usually work, as well as raising already-existent questions about the fairness of arbitration clauses and its applicability for various types of claims.<\/p>\n<p><em>Monongahela Valley Hospital\u00a0<\/em>involved a dispute between the hospital and one of its \u201cbargaining unit\u201d employees who are members of the union under a collective bargaining agreement (CBA). About half of the employees of the hospital are supervisors who are not bargaining unit employees. The CBA governed the relationship between the hospital and the bargaining unit employees. The grievances centered around the hospital\u2019s denial of a unit bargaining employee\u2019s request for vacation due to a non-unit bargaining employee\u2019s request for the same time off. The hospital denied the unit bargaining employee\u2019s request because her supervisor, a nonbargaining unit employee, had requested the same week off and both could not be away at the same time. Using its authority to have the \u201cfinal\u201d say in the matter, the hospital denied the bargaining unit employee\u2019s request. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.khflaw.com\/news\/legal-intelligencer-beyond-the-courts-the-potential-future-of-arbitration\/#more-288\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u203a<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the January 23, 2020 edition of The Legal Intelligencer Edward T.
