55 FLRA No. 109
NAGE, Local R5-82 and U.S. Dept. of the Navy, Naval Exchange Service Center, Jacksonville, Florida (Lindquist, Arbitrator), 0-AR-3188 (Decided July 23, 1999)
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 contrary to law or regulation, or that it failed to draw its essence from the agreement.
