United Steel, Paper & Forest v. Phillips 66 (10th Cir., October 17, 2016) (affirming district court judgment ordering arbitration, as the arbitration provision in the collective bargaining agreement was not susceptible to an interpretation excluding the grievances at issue)

*Cases marked with an asterisk are cases the 10th Circuit does not consider binding precedent except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. They may be cited, however, for persuasive value under Fed.R.App.P. 32.1 and 10th Cir.R. 32.1.
