Doubts should be resolve in favor of coverage. • As long as an arbitration award is based on the bargaining agreement, a court should enforce the award without examination. • In interpreting the labor agreement, the arbitrator is not limited to the words of the contract.

In the event that an employee has a sensible conviction that discipline or other unfavorable outcomes may come about because of what he or she says, the employee has the right to demand union representation. Management is not required to educate the employee of his/her Weingarten rights; it is the employee's obligation to know and demand. At the point when the employee makes the demand for a union representative to be available management has three alternatives: it can quit addressing until the representative arrives; it can cancel the interview or, it can tell the employee that it will cancel the interview unless the employee deliberately surrenders his/her rights to a union representative. Employers will regularly attest that the main part of a union representative in an investigatory interview is to watch the discourse. The Supreme Court, be that as it may, unmistakably recognizes a representative's right to help and insight laborers amid the interview.

The store alleges that Ms. Smith was distracted by her son and did not notice the spill on the floor and therefore is equally at fault. Question Presented Whether one has a duty to observe the floor while in a store and therefore can be held 50% comparatively at fault for a fall, negating any recovery.
