Arbitration Case Files

The Arbitration Case Files contain a non-random sample of a twenty-five linear foot series in the original accession. The files selected document the arbitration cases which were published, thus ensuring that the parties do not expect the complete confidentiality of the record of the arbitration proceedings. There are three cases represented here: a 1970 case between the City of Birmingham (Michigan) and the City of Birmingham Firefighters, a 1985 grievance by UFCW (United Food and Commercial Workers) Local 876 against Kroger, and the Wayne State Chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) grievance against Wayne State University in 1975.

City of Birmingham and City of Birmingham Firefighters, 1970

Box 1

In the Birmingham Firefighters proceedings, St. Antoine arbitrated the reasonable settlement of disputes about the new contract between the firefighters and the city. The primary contentious issues were whether or not to institute an agency shop, and whether arbitration should be the final recourse for the resolution of grievances (rather than the city commission, which was assumed to have an obvious bias.) In St. Antoine's decision, he found the agency shop unnecessary, but instituted the final arbitration clause.
