“rates of pay, rules or working conditions”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[W]e are at a loss to understand how it could be decided that the rights of the Union can be determined without a construction of the employment contract or agreement.... This is to be done by the appropriate tribunal.... It is not a fictitious or merely colorable issue. Before a tribunal can decide that the terminations at issue were not justified, it must construe the language of Rule 16(e).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“It is plain here that the dispute raised by the complaint could be resolved only by construing the existing contract. It follows that the trial court erred in entertaining jurisdiction of the suit. The appellee should have been remanded to the grievance procedures set forth in the contract.”
