Associated Musicians of Greater New York v. The Parker Meridien Hotel, 145 F. 3rd 85 (2nd Cir. 1997)

Confirmed an arbitration award issued against the Parker Meridien Hotel on behalf of Local 802. This leading precedent established for the first time in the Second Circuit that the time to move to vacate an arbitration award is 90 days of the date of issuance, not one year as the Parker Meridien had contended. Based upon this newly established statute of limitation, the employer’s motion to vacate the award premised upon the arbitrator’s lack of jurisdiction was denied.
