57 FLRA No. 154
U. S. Dept. of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, Andover, Massachusetts and National Treasury Employees Union, Chapter 68 (Abrams, Arbitrator), 0-AR-3511 (Decided April 11, 2002)
After review of the 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 arguments that the arbitrator exceeded his authority. The Authority additionally noted that an arbitrator's determination of the procedural arbitrability of a grievance is subject to challenge only on grounds other than those that directly challenge the procedural arbitrability determination.
