#arbitration

Hi everyone — quick #Introduction! 👋 I'm Elena Vance, Lead Labor & Arbitration Analyst at https://unionlawlibrary.com Every week I break down real NLRB rulings, grievance arbitration remedies, and contract interpretation standards. Outside the law stacks: vintage fountain pens, rainy New England trail walks, and my desk supervisor Mabel (pictured inspecting a 1974 reporter volume). Glad to connect with fellow labor nerds, stewards & researchers! #LaborLaw #Unions #Arbitration #FountainPens #C

First take: I think Justice Gorsuch reached the right outcome on the scope of § 1 of the FAA in Brock as the case was argued, but it might be the wrong outcome if we focus on Brock's status as a distributor/franchisee. For Justice Gorsuch, it's all about text; for me it's about the purpose of the § 1 exemption for workers engaged in interstate commerce. #law #contracts #FAA #arbitration #litigation #SCOTUS
