Chicago Typographical Union No. 16 v. Chicago Sun-Times, Incorporated

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• subjecting arbitration opinions to “beady-eyed scrutiny” might create disincentives for arbitrators writing opinions at all
• noting parties cannot contract for judicial review of arbitration awards because “federal jurisdiction cannot be created by contract,” but recognizing parties “can contract for an appellate arbitration panel to review the arbitrator’s award”
• “a noncontractual basis can be inferred and the award set aside” when “there is no possible interpretive route to the award”
• countless decisions have determined that an arbitrator’s award need not be a reasonable interpretation of the contract
• “The zanier the award, the less plausible it becomes to ascribe it to a mere error in interpretation rather than a willful disregard of the contract.” (emphasis added)
• “BETTS expressly agrees that her use of . . . alcohol . . . shall be considered a violation of this Agreement and will result in termination of BETTS’s employment.”
