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.
Andrews v. Louisville & Nashville R. Co., 406 U.S. 320 (1972)
Andrews v. Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co. No. 71-300 Argued March 22, 1972 Decided May 15, 1972 406 U.S. 320
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
Petitioner, claiming that he was wrongfully discharged from his employment by respondent railroad, filed a state court action based on state law for breach of contract. The suit was removed to Federal District Court, which dismissed the complaint for failure to exhaust the remedies provided by the Railway Labor Act, and the Court of Appeals affirmed.
Held: Since the source of petitioner’s right not to be discharged and of his employer’s obligation to restore him to his regular employment following an injury is the collective bargaining agreement, petitioner must follow the grievance and arbitration procedures set forth in the Railway Labor Act. Moore v. Illinois Central R. Co., 312 U.S. 630, overruled. Pp. 321-326.
441 F.2d 1222, affirmed.
REHNQUIST, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which BURGER, C.J., BRENNAN, STEWART, WHITE, MARSHALL, and BLACKMUN, JJ., joined. DOUGLAS, J., filed a dissenting opinion, post, p. 326. POWELL, J., took no part in the consideration or decision of the case.
