57 FLRA No. 102
American Federation of Government Employees, Local 15 and United States Department of Defense, Defense Finance and Accounting Service, Rock Island Arsenal Rock Island, Illinois (Vonhof, Arbitrator), 0-AR-3430 (Decided October 17, 2001)
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. After reviewing the record in this case, 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 allegations that the Arbitrator exceeded his authority, that the award failed to draw its essence from the parties' collective bargaining agreement, or that it was based on a nonfact.
