New York Court of Appeals

Charles W. Parker v. Nathan Borock, as Receiver of Voges Manufacturing Company, Inc.

January 15, 19595 N.Y.2d 156

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's grant of summary judgment for the receiver, holding that the collective bargaining agreement did not give the individual employee a enforceable right to sue for wrongful discharge and that the union, not the employee, possessed the exclusive arbitration right. Concurring opinions noted differing views on the scope of the agreement's provisions but did not alter the result.
