60 FLRA No. 85
U. S. Dept. of the Air Force, 72nd Mission Support Group, Tinker Air Force Base,
Oklahoma and AFGE,
Local 916 (McKee, Arbitrator) 0-AR-3841 (Decided
November 19, 2004)
The Arbitrator denied a grievance alleging that the Agency disciplined the grievant without just cause, but found that the Agency improperly denied the grievant leave during his incarceration. The Arbitrator ordered the Agency to correct the grievant's records to reflect either annual leave, and pay him for that leave period, or leave without pay, if the grievant did not have any annual leave available. The Authority denied the Agency's exceptions holding that the Arbitrator did not exceed his authority, and that the award was not inconsistent with the Back Pay Act.
