U. S. Dept. of The Army, Corps of Engineers, Northwestern Division and Portland District and United Power Trades Organization Colfax, Washington (Nelson, Arbitrator) 0-AR-3876 (Decided January 21, 2005)
After issuing an award directing the Agency to fill a particular position, the Arbitrator issued a second award concluding that the position could not be contracted out. The Authority set aside the challenged portion of the second award finding that it was inconsistent with management's right to make determinations with respect to contracting out under § 7106(a)(2)(B) of the Statute.
