In this action, Plaintiffs seek to compel the Defendant to comply with the Decision and 

Award of Arbitrator Thomas Angelo, issued February 11, 2005 pursuant to the terms of a 

collective bargaining agreement between the parties. Plaintiffs seek an Order of this Court

injunction compelling Defendant to submit to an audit of its books and records to determine if it 

timely and accurately made fringe benefit contributions and for an order requiring Defendant to 

pay any and all amount delinquencies found due under the audit as well as interest and liquidated 

damages thereon.
