56 FLRA No. 5
AFGE, Local 1867 and U.S. Department of the Air Force, United States Air Force Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado (Jennings, Arbitrator), 0-AR-3178 (Decided February 25, 2000)
Under section 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.
Here, the Authority concluded that the award was not deficient on the grounds raised in the exceptions and set forth in section 7122(a). The Authority rejected the allegations that the award was based on a nonfat, that the arbitrator was biased, that he failed to provide a fair hearing, and that he exceeded his authority.
