Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Michigan at Detroit.
No. 06-14288—Julian A. Cook, Jr., District Judge.
Argued: January 16, 2009
Decided and Filed: May 29, 2009
Before: SUHRHEINRICH, BATCHELDER and SUTTON, Circuit Judges.
SUTTON, Circuit Judge. When an employer signs a collective bargaining agreement, it assumes certain obligations to its employees. At issue in this case are the scope of obligations that a general contractor assumes in signing a national collective bargaining agreement that incorporates—in part—two local collective bargaining agreements designed to provide fringe benefits to independent contractors working on the general contractor’s projects.
. . .
For these reasons, we affirm.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Michigan at Grand Rapids.
No. 08-00038-001—Robert Holmes Bell, District Judge.
Argued: April 21, 2009
Decided and Filed: May 29, 2009
Before: CLAY and McKEAGUE, Circuit Judges; HOLSCHUH, Senior District Judge.
PER CURIAM. Daniel Francis Grams pleaded guilty to robbing a credit union in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a). The district court sentenced Grams to a term of imprisonment of seventy-two months. On appeal, he contends that the district court abused its discretion in sentencing him. We agree—because the district court failed to explain adequately its reason for imposing the sentence, we vacate Grams’s sentence and remand for resentencing.
