60 FLRA No. 30
NTEU, Chapter 260 and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Dallas, Texas (Halter, Arbitrator) 0-AR-3849 (Decided August 13, 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, and Authority precedent, the Authority concluded that the award was not deficient on the grounds raised in the exceptions and set forth in § 7122(a). The Authority rejected the allegation that the award failed to draw its essence from the agreement.
