Syllabus

The trial court erred by overruling the union's motion to enforce the trial court's judgment, which had confirmed an arbitration award, without first holding an evidentiary hearing to determine whether the employer's payment to the reinstated employee constituted full back pay and benefits, as required by the arbitration award. The fact that the reinstated employee had accepted a payment from his employer after the arbitration proceeding concluded did not constitute ratification, because the union, not the employee, was the party to the arbitration. Judgment reversed and remanded. (Tucker, J., concurring.)
