U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 10-3325
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Wollman, Circuit Judge, and
Miller, District Judge]
Civil case - labor law. The district court erred in compelling arbitration
without first deciding whether the 1994 agreement between the parties
requires the Post to pay full health insurance benefits for the lifetime of
each retiree; under the circumstances, the question of whether the right to
fully-paid premiums vested under the 1994 agreement is best decided by
the district court, and the matter is reversed and remanded for further
proceedings.
