Treatments

Criticized

  • The District of Maryland criticized Enterprise Wheel's essence test as insufficiently specific to produce a consistent and workable standard for judicial review of labor-arbitration awards.

    Local 1852 Waterfront Guard Ass'n v. Amstar Corp. · D. Md. · filed

    The arbitrator's discretion in interpreting the agreement, however, is not unlimited.

Unfortunately, this “essence” test lacks sufficient specificity to provide lower courts with a consistent and workable standard in exercising their function of review. Thus, standards have varied from Circuit to Circuit.
