LYLANE SUM, Appellant, v. TISHMAN SPEYER PROPERTIES, INC., et al., Respondents.

The collective bargaining agreement governing plaintiff's employment contains an arbitration agreement that specifically includes within its scope gender discrimination claims under the New York City Human Rights Law. This union-negotiated waiver of plaintiffs right to a judicial forum to pursue the statutory claims here at issue is "clear and unmistakable," and enforceable ( Wright v Universal Maritime Service Corp., 525 US 70, 80-82; see Garcia v Bellmarc Prop. Mgt., 295 AD2d 233; Torres v Four Seasons Hotel of N.Y., 277 AD2d 23; and see Carson v Giant Food, Inc., 175 F3d 325, 331 [1999]). We have considered plaintiff's remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
