Quiambao v. San Francisco Municipal Transportation
Appellant Peter Quiambao was discharged from his position as a transit operator and challenged his dismissal pursuant to the grievance procedures authorized by his employer, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (Muni), and his union. The union ultimately sought binding private arbitration, which affirmed appellant’s dismissal. Appellant filed both a writ of mandamus and a motion to vacate the arbitration award before the trial court. On appeal, appellant claims he lacked standing to appeal the arbitration award and it was improperly denied on the merits. He further claims the trial court erred in sustaining Muni’s demurrer to the writ of mandamus.
