[05/15]
UMass Mem'l Med. Ctr., Inc. v. United Food and Commercial Workers Union
In an employer-union dispute wherein the district court upheld an arbitral award in favor of the union but denied the union's request for attorney fees, judgment is affirmed where: 1) the case failed to meet the exceedingly high threshold for judicial interference with arbitral awards; 2) the arbitral award drew "its essence from the collective bargaining agreement"; and 3) the district court did not abuse its discretion in concluding that the employer's federal claim was sufficiently justified to avoid a payment of attorney's fees.
