agreement therein stated.  No such successor clause shall be binding

(b) As used in this Section, "successor employer" means any purchaser,
assignee, or transferee of a business the employees of which are subject
to a collective bargaining agreement, if such purchaser, assignee, or
transferee conducts or will conduct substantially the same business
operation, or offer the same service, and use the same physical facilities,

statement that the successor employer is bound by such successor clause as
provided for in the collective bargaining agreement. Failure of an employer
to disclose the existence of a collective bargaining agreement containing a
successor clause as required by this subsection (d) shall not affect the
