Final FLRA decision. The Authority granted the agency's request to withdraw its requests for reconsideration in eight arbitration cases and ended its proceedings on those requests. This order does not decide the availability of judicial review of the earlier decisions. Under 5 U.S.C. § 7123(a), judicial review of an Authority order involving an arbitration award is generally excluded unless the order involves an unfair labor practice.
Plain-English summary
The Social Security Administration had asked the Authority to reconsider decisions in eight cases involving AFGE's national council for Social Security field operations. The agency then asked to withdraw those reconsideration requests. The Authority granted the withdrawal and said it would take no further action on the requests. The order lists the eight cases but does not describe their underlying grievances or earlier rulings.

- Authority: Withdrawal of requests for reconsideration in eight arbitration cases.
