International Ass'n of Firefighters, Local 1285 v. City of Las Vegas

OPINION

By the Court,

Rose, J.:

The City of Las Vegas Department of Fire Services (the Fire Department) terminated a Firefighter Trainee. When the International Association of Firefighters, Local #1285, (the Union) sought arbitration of the termination, the City of Las Vegas (the City) applied for a district court order to stay the arbitration. The City claimed that because Firefighter Trainee was a probationary *1321position, a terminated Firefighter Trainee could not pursue arbitration. The district court agreed and granted the stay, and the Union appealed.

We conclude that the district court erred…
