Court of Appeals of Washington, Division 3.

June 2, 2011.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Stanley Allen Bastian , Jeffers Danielson Sonn & Aylward PS, Wenatchee, WA, for Appellant.

SWEENEY, J.

¶ 1 The superior court here concluded that a memorandum of understanding, purporting to settle a labor dispute between a county and a deputy sheriff's association, did not rise to the level of a completed contract, and the court therefore refused to enforce it. We conclude that the dispute should have been referred to arbitration pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement, and we reverse and remand for further proceedings.
