59 FLRA No. 60
AFGE, Council 220 and Social Security Administration, Baltimore, Maryland 0- AR-3667 (Feigenbaum, Arbitrator) (Decided October 22, 2003)
The Arbitrator determined that, under Authority precedent, Article 24, § 10 of the parties' agreement could not be interpreted as precluding the Agency from allowing designees to hear and decide Union grievances. Therefore, the Arbitrator denied the Union's grievance. The Authority concluded that the award was not deficient, and denied the Union's exception.
