Horton Automatics and the Industrial Division of the Communications Workers of America, the union that represented Hortonâ€™s workers, negotiated a collective bargaining agreement. If an employeeâ€™s discharge for a workplace-rule violation was submitted to arbitration, the agreement limited the arbitrator to determining whether the rule was reasonable and whether the employee had violated it. When Horton discharged employee Ruben de la Garza, the union appealed to arbitration. The arbitrator found that de la Garza had violated a reasonable safety rule, but â€śwas not totally convincedâ€ť that Horton should have treated the violation more seriously than other rule violations. The arbitrator ordered de la Garza reinstated. Can a court set aside this order

A court can set aside the order.

Collective Labor law mediates the relationship between workers, companies, and unions. This type of law oversees an employee's rights at work and the contract he or she has signed with the employer.

Disputes between employees and companies are initially taken to an institution that serves as an arbitrator in the search for an outcome. If one of the parts is not ok with the arbitrator's final outcome, it is legally permitted to escalate the case to a court.
