General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Republic Steel Corp. v. Maddox, 379 U.S. 650 (1965)
Republic Steel Corp. v. Maddox No. 43 Argued November 18, 1964 Decided January 25, 1965 379 U.S. 650
CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF ALABAMA
Syllabus
Respondent employee sued his employer for severance pay under a collective bargaining agreement existing between his union and employer, which was subject to the Labor Management Relations Act (LMRA). Judgment for respondent was affirmed in the state courts on the ground that the state law did not require him to exhaust contract grievance procedures before suit, which he had not done.
Held: under federal policy reflected in the LMRA, contract grievance procedures, which apply to severance as well as other types of claims, must, unless specified as nonexclusive, be exhausted before direct legal redress is sought. Moore v. Illinois Central R. Co., 312 U.S. 630, and Transcontinental & Western Air, Inc. v. Koppal, 345 U.S. 653, distinguished. Pp. 652-659.
275 Ala. 685, 158 So.2d 492, reversed.
