57 FLRA No. 184
AFGE, Local 201 and U. S. Dept. of Defense, Defense Finance and Accounting Service Rome, New York (Prosper, Arbitrator), 0-AR-3412 (Decided June 14, 2002)
The Arbitrator found that the Agency did not improperly terminate the grievant. The Authority denied the Union's exceptions after concluding that the award was not contrary to law.
The Authority found that the arbitrator did not err in finding that the grievant was properly hired for a 1-year period, and that the agency provided the grievant reasonable accommodation. Additionally, the Authority found that the Arbitrator did not deny the Union a fair hearing, nor exceeded his authority. Lastly, the Authority concluded that the portion of the award imposing a cancellation fee on the Union was not deficient.
