The opinion
SCHWAB, C. J.,
specially concurring.
I agree with the result but not the reasoning of the majority opinion.
Generally speaking, when a labor contract is ambiguous as to the scope of arbitrability, the decision on that issue is for the arbitrator. Portland Teachers v. School Dist., 27 Or App 247 , 555 P2d 943 (1976). As the majority agrees, when the contract is clear on its face as to what issues are arbitrable, the determination of arbitrability is for the court — not an arbitrator. Here *273 the grievance procedures in the contract which culminate in binding arbitration clearly cover discipline. They equally clearly do not cover dismissal.
