58 FLRA No. 72
AFGE, Local 1156 and U. S. Dept. of the Navy, Naval Inventory Control Point, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania
Under § 7122(a) of the Statute, an award is deficient if it is contrary to any law, rule, or regulation; or it is deficient on other grounds similar to those applied by federal courts in private sector labor-management relations. Upon careful consideration of the entire record, the Authority concluded that the award was not deficient on the grounds raised in the exceptions and set forth in § 7122(a). The Authority rejected the allegation that the award failed to draw its essence form the agreement.
