57 FLRA No. 14
American Federation of Government EmployeesCouncil 236 and General Services Administration, Region 10, Auburn, Washington (Snow, Arbitrator), 0-AR-3391 (Decided March 30, 2001)
After reviewing the record in this case, the Authority concluded that the award was not deficient on the grounds raised in the exceptions. 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. The Authority rejected the allegations that the award was contrary to law, that it was based on a nonfact, that the arbitrator was biased, or that it failed draw its essence from the agreement.
