Filing the arbitrator's order with the court and enforcing it as with any judicial order is the best option for Ardvark Inc. This will allow the company to obtain a court order enforcing the arbitrator's decision and authorizing law enforcement to assist in enforcing the order. Calling the police to charge picketers or bringing the arbitrator to the scene to sort out the dispute are not practical options. Arbitrators' orders are not unenforceable, and suing the union local in a civil action may not be the most effective way to enforce the arbitrator's order.
