Outcome

The court granted in part and denied in part both parties' summary judgment motions. The court determined that the Union's grievance concerning the Savings and Investment Plan calculation for 12-hour shift employees is not arbitrable under the collective bargaining agreement because the plan's dispute resolution procedures exclude such claims from arbitration.
