SNEED, Circuit Judge:

The Musicians Union of Las Vegas (Union) appeals from the district court’s dismissal of its petition to compel arbitration of a grievance filed on behalf of an employee who allegedly was discharged in violation of a collective bargaining agreement. The district court held that the employee had contracted away the benefits secured by the collective agreement. We reverse.
