60 FLRA No. 171
U. S. DEPT. OF THE TREASURY, IRS, WASHINGTON, D. C. AND NTEU, 0-AR- 3889, (Javits, Arbitrator) (Decided May 23, 2005)
The Arbitrator found that the Agency violated the parties' collective bargaining agreement by issuing a notice of proposed reduction-in-force (RIF) before it became necessary, and he ordered the Agency to rescind the notice. As a result of events that occurred after the issuance of the award, the Authority found that the award was moot and set it aside.
