60 FLRA No. 140
United States Department of Labor ad AFGE, Local 12, 0-AR-3838 (60 FLRA 363 (2004)) (Decided March 15, 2005)
This case is before the Authority on the Agency's motion for reconsideration of the Authority's decision in 60 FLRA 363 (2004) (DOL). The Authority granted the Agency's motion for reconsideration and considered the Agency's Article 16 claims that were not considered in DOL. Upon reconsideration of those claims, the Authority denied them on the merits. The Authority rejected the allegation that the award failed to draw its essence from Article 16 of the parties' agreement, or that it interfered with the Agency's bargaining rights.
