Chicago, Inc., 19 F.3d 1503, 1510 (3d Cir. 1994), the Third Circuit held that “where a party objects to arbitrability but nevertheless voluntarily participates in the arbitration proceedings, waiver of the challenge to arbitral jurisdiction will not be inferred.” In that case, after the arbitrator rejected the plaintiffs’ objection to arbitration, they participated in the .arbitration on the merits and lost. In affirming, the United States Supreme Court concluded that since the plaintiffs had “forcefully objected] to the arbitrators deciding their dispute,” they had not clearly agreed to submit the issue of arbitrability to arbitration.
