United States Fifth Circuit

Because an arbitration award in a dispute under a collective bargaining agreement did not present circumstances warranting vacating of the award under the Federal Arbitration Act or the Labor Management Relations Act, a decision enforcing the award is confirmed. Award was not ambiguous, so remand for clarification of back-pay is reversed.
