60 FLRA No. 127
AFGE, Local 3432 and U. S. Dept. of the Interior, National Park Service Northeast Region (Skonier, Arbitrator) 0-AR-3881 (Decided February 25, 2005)
The Arbitrator found that the Agency did not violate the parties' collective bargaining agreement or memorandum of agreement (MOA) by refusing to grant the Union President official time to represent a certain bargaining unit employee and by refusing to allow another employee to be appointed acting steward for more than 10 days. The Authority denied the Union's exceptions. The Authority found that the award did not fail to draw its essence from the parties' agreement, nor that it was contrary to law.
