The following excerpt is from Alaska Airlines Inc. v. Schurke, 898 F.3d 904 (9th Cir. 2018):
Livadas v. Bradshaw , 512 U.S. 107, 12326, 114 S.Ct. 2068, 129 L.Ed.2d 93 (1994) ). "[W]hen the meaning of contract terms is not the subject of dispute, the bare fact that a collective-bargaining agreement will be consulted in the course of state-law litigation plainly does not require the claim to be extinguished." Livada s, 512 U.S. at 124, 114 S.Ct. 2068.7
