Questions presented
-
Does the universal standard for judgment on the pleadings apply to a Rule 12(c) motion to compel a labor arbitration or does the general principle of presumption in favor of arbitrability mean the federal courts must ignore the Rule 12(c) standards?
-
Do the federal courts lose their authority to decide arbitrability when to do so requires some consideration of the merits of the underlying dispute?
