Opinion
July 15, 1985
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Suffolk County (Lama, J.).
Judgment, as amended, affirmed, with costs.
Special Term correctly determined that the issue was arbitrable. The further question of the scope of the substantive provisions of the contract is itself a question of contract interpretation, and is for the arbitrator to determine ( see, e.g., Board of Educ. v. Barni, 49 N.Y.2d 311, 314-315; Rochester City School Dist. v. Rochester Teachers Assn., 41 N.Y.2d 578, 583). We have considered petitioner's other contentions and find them to be without merit. Mangano, J.P., Gibbons, Bracken and O'Connor, JJ., concur.
