The principal thesis of this article is that the Steelworkers Trilogy has become largely irrelevant. As far as the courts are concerned, labor arbitration has become no different, and perhaps less respected, than other arbitration. However, no matter what the courts may say or do, labor arbitration remains something very special and different, worthy of respect and admiration without reliance on the language used by the Supreme Court in the Trilogy.
