Stephen J. Simoni v. Jersey Shore University Medical Center, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, No. 20-1024 · judgment November 5, 2020
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
United States Supreme Court precedent requires that union members be awarded attorneys’ fees where the employer wrongfully blocked access to quick and inexpensive mandated arbitration and thereby forced the union members to seek a remedy in the judiciary. But are arbitrators in federal labor cases free to disregard this United States Supreme Court precedent simply because the subject Circuit Court of Appeals has not yet itself addressed the issue?
