A grievance is presumed to be arbitrable if the contract provides for the arbitration of grievances and does not exclude the topic under consideration. This means that if the contract includes a provision for resolving disputes through arbitration and the issue at hand is not explicitly excluded from this provision, then the grievance is assumed to be eligible for arbitration. Courts will generally defer to this presumption and view arbitration as the preferred method for resolving labor disputes.
