READ

The district court did not err in affirming an arbitral award entered in favor of defendant-union arising out of its claims that plaintiff-employer allegedly wrongfully transferred work to non-union workers, where: 1) the arbitral panel did not exceed the bounds of its interpretative powers or clearly err in its conclusion that the subcontracting jobs to which union employees had a "legitimate claim" constituted a "transfer" within the meaning of the collective bargaining agreement; and 2) the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant fees and costs.
