Broad Arbitration Clause Required Arbitration of Topic Not Directly Covered by Collective Bargaining Agreement

In upholding the lower court’s determination that a matter involving “shift swapping” in the sheriff’s department was subject to arbitration even though the topic was not directly covered by the collective bargaining agreement (CBA), the Fourth Department wrote:

In determining whether the parties agreed to arbitrate the dispute at issue, “[o]ur review . . . is limited to the language of the grievance and the demand for arbitration, as well as to the reasonable inferences that may be drawn therefrom” …. “Where, as here, there is a broad arbitration clause and a ‘reasonable relationship’ between the subject matter of the dispute and the general subject matter of the parties’ [CBA], the court ‘should rule the matter arbitrable, and the arbitrator will then make a more exacting interpretation of the precise scope of the substantive provisions of the [CBA], and whether the subject matter of the dispute fits within them’ ” … .  Matter of Ontario County…, CA 12-01766, 309, 4th Dept, 5-3-13
