U. S. Dept. of Transportation, FAA and Professional Airway Systems Specialists (Rogers, Arbitrator) 0-AR-3810 (Decided August 23, 2004)
The Arbitrator found that the Agency violated the parties' collective bargaining agreement (CBA) when it allowed the minimum staffing level of technical employees employed in the Agency's regions and implementation centers to drop below 6,100 employees. The Authority denied the exceptions. The Authority found that the award was not contrary to law, namely, § 7106(a)(1) and (2)(A) of the Statute, nor that it fail to draw its essence from the parties' CBA.
