59 FLRA No. 145
AFGE, Local 217 and U. S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Augusta, Georgia, (McReynolds, Arbitrator) 0-AR-3793 (Decided April 7, 2004)
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. Upon careful consideration of the entire 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).
