How courts have described this case

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

• explaining that the proposition that a mandatory-arbitration provision precludes a claim from being litigated in federal court “is distinct from the doctrine of complete preemption used to remove state claims to federal court”
• distinguishing complete preemption as a “jurisdictional doctrine ... used to remove state claims to federal court” from preemption “as a defense, raising the question of whether [certain] claims can be litigated in this action”
• “The proper starting point for determining whether interpretation of a CBA is required in order to resolve a particular state law claim is an examination of the claim itself.”
• “An otherwise independent claim will not be preempted if the CBA need only be consulted during its adjudication.”
