60 FLRA No. 14
U. S. Dept/ of Veterans Affairs, Ralph H. Johnson Medical Center, Charleston, South Carolina and NAGE, Local R5-136 (O'Connor, Arbitrator) 0-AR-3746 (Decided June 24, 2004)
The Arbitrator sustained in part two grievances alleging that the Agency's work schedules for the Administrative Officers of the Day (AOD) violated the parties' master and supplemental collective bargaining agreements. The Authority remanded the case to the parties, absent settlement, for resubmission to the Arbitrator for clarification of the award. When clarifying the award, the Arbitrator should specify whether the award mandated that the Agency apply one of three alternative remedial approaches to schedule the AODs to comply with the parties' agreements, or whether the award left it up to the Agency to determine how to comply with the parties' agreements.
