California Court of Appeal

In this case, cross-defendant County of Los Angeles sought to compel individual arbitrations of grievances by certain union employees represented by cross-complainants. The trial court refused to compel such arbitrations, ruling that Code of Civil Procedure section 1281.2 gave it discretion to stay the arbitration of arbitral issues between the parties while it resolved issues between the parties that were not subject to arbitration, and which resolution might make arbitrations unnecessary. the judgment is reversed, where all of the issues between the parties were subject to individual arbitrations and therefore the part of section 1281.2 upon which the trial court relied was inapplicable.
