BOGGS, Circuit Judge.
Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund appeals the district court’s decision reducing the amount of withdrawal liability assessed against Mason and Dixon Tank Lines, Inc. under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, 29 U.S.C. §§ 1001-1371, as amended by the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980, 29 U.S.C. § 1381-1461. Because the issues addressed by the district court should have initially been submitted to arbitration, we reverse.
