Analysis

The court found that the arbitration awards were valid and enforceable, as they provided prospective relief in the form of cease-and-desist orders. The court emphasized that confirmation of the awards did not interfere with the ongoing arbitration process, as the union had committed to resolving any future grievances through arbitration rather than seeking contempt sanctions directly.
