U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 17-1322
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Murphy,
Circuit Judge]
Civil case - Arbitration. This opinion was issued by Chief Judge Smith and
Judge Colloton under 8th Cir. R. 47E. The district court erred in vacating
the arbitration award in this matter as the arbitrator was at least
arguably construing the contract between the parties in making the award
reinstating the union member employee to his former position with backpay
after he was discharged by CenterPoint.
