good afternoon your honors may it please the court katherine hansen for the appellee one thousand one hundred and ninety nine as c r u united health care workers east this is a straightforward action to enforce an arbitration award the underlying facts that issue are as follows for many years the union represented employees at a long term care facility in jersey city new jersey that until it sailed in two thousand and thirteen was known as hamilton park health care center the facility provides long term care both skilled nursing and assisted living services the assisted living services are provided at the atrium one part of the facility i think you are familiar with the facts ok thank you your honor appellants arguments in this case rests on misrepresentations of the facts and the law most of their arguments rest on the argument that the atrium is and is not a signatory to the agreement and was bound by the award therefore the arbitrator exceeded authority under the award in the award does not draws essence from the collective bargaining agreement and violates public policy that argument fails on all levels as the arbitrator understood as the district court understood  the only parties bound by the arbitration award are a lawyer as health at hamilton park and confidence management systems the appellants respondants in this case they jury m has no obligations under the award and the union is not seeking has not sought and is not seeking to a force the award against it all the arbitrator did in this case was interpret the parties collective bargaining agreement and who was covered under its under that agreement there is no dispute in this case that prior to the sale in two thousand and thirteen the employees who performed the dietary maintenance and housekeeping work at the age for him or covered by the parties collective bargaining agreement after the two thousand and thirteen sale despite  assumed the collective bargaining agreement and fall they simply stopped applying the collective bargaining agreement to employees who performed that work at the atrium all the arbitrator did in this case was hold appellants to the collective bargaining agreement they assumed and require them to apply its terms to all of the employees covered there under the the collective bargaining and agreement in this case hasn't broad arbitration clause it gives the arbitrator all authority to determine  always shared a common owner a common to management common supervision an even under the prior owner when they were separately incorporated the checks at the time of the sale came from hamilton park health care center and that arrangement between units absolutely and that's in the record the arbitrator took a lot of factual evidence on that one seniority list well you know it's yes previously but for the the new owner took them out of the bargain in unit absolutely if until the collective bargaining agreement expires or is renegotiated i won't or what well hamilton park is bound by the collective bargaining agreement the bargaining unit established under that agreement is set and we have overruling now that hamilton park is responsible for these other employees and my question is how for home long will hamilton park be held to that forever you're under the arbitrator's rolling is that hamilton park is responsible for its own employees and to be clear there is confidence management systems which is a separate respondent they directly employ the housekeeping employees atrium alarums health at hamilton park directly employs the employees who perform the dietary maintenance and housekeeping work at the atrium that's the finding of the arbitrator that was based on his evaluation of the facts of this case the appellants are attempting to relive again the case that was before the arbitrator the appe said my question is maybe maybe i'm misunderstanding something but how long will this go along can the new employer ever get out of this situation the parties are currently negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement in order to reel there's a new collective bargaining agreement well i mean i mean yes sure if that the parties agreed to negotiate a different agreement yes proceedings to hold that parts of the record they cite two are blatant misrepresentations on the record what the district court said was and it is true appellants went to the district court and said hold on a nd we're confused are you talking about a palin's responsibilities or you're talking about intervene or appellants responsibilities and what the district court said was we're talking about respondents alair is held at hamilton park and confidence management systems for example on the issue of document production which they were held in contempt over the district court said you health and hamilton park and confidence management systems must turn over all records in your possession and custody and control if you don't have custody and control of those records and you say it's the atrium ok then you only have to turn over the records that you have in your possession custody and control the appellant were very careful not to make representations to the court that they didn't have possession custody and control of the two records because in fact they do and they turned them over because these are their employees they turned over the payroll records they turned over the benefit information of their own employees and that is all the district court required them to do and i would argue that they just in court went out of its way to make that point very clear and there is nowhere in the record that opponents have pointed to or could point to to suggest that it was in fact the rights of the atrium that the district court was determining or imposing any obligations on the contempt finding was against our respondents exclusively in their capacity as the employer of these employees and i  do want to say that the arguments that appellant's are making are facts are factual arguments who employees employees and the arbitrator after many many hearings witness testimony documents decided that in fact  appellants are the employer of the employees at issue they are bound by the collective bargaining agreement again there is no dispute that before the sale the collective bargaining agreement agreed applied to these employees the question was whether the appellant's had a right to simply stop applying it to these employees after the sale and what the arbitrator said was no you don't i'm interpreting the agreement this is what it was before you assumed it you're obligated under it in the same way that the predecessor thank you thank you we'll reserve decision the remaining cases on some mission pieces are on submission accordingly i'll ask the clerk to drop you very much
