On June 24, the Supreme Court announced its decision in Granite Rock Co. v. Teamsters. The Court held that 1) the parties' dispute over the CBA's ratification date was a matter for the district court to resolve, not an arbitrator; and 2) the 9th Circuit rightly declined to recognize a new federal common law cause of action under the LMRA for the Teamsters' alleged tortious interference with the CBA. In the post-decision edition of SCOTUScast, Matthew R. Estabrook discusses the case.
