The grievance concerned the details of employees to supervisory positions. The Authority set aside a portion of the award. The Authority found that the award was contrary to the Back Pay Act. However, it rejected the allegations that the award violated management's rights to assign employees under § 7106(a)(2)(A) of the Statute, or that it failed to draw its essence from the agreement
