This is citable Authority precedent from 1990, and it may have been appealed since. Ezel checks how it stands today and answers your situation, with citations.
Final FLRA decision. The Authority granted the union's request to withdraw its exceptions to an arbitration award and ended its proceeding on those exceptions. Under 5 U.S.C. § 7123(a), judicial review generally does not extend to an Authority order involving an arbitration award under § 7122 unless the order involves an unfair labor practice. This short order does not identify an unfair labor practice.
Plain-English summary
AFGE's national council for Social Security field operations had filed exceptions to an arbitration award by John R. Thornell. The union later requested permission to withdraw them. The Authority granted that request and said it would take no further action on the exceptions. The order does not describe the grievance or the award itself.
Decision snapshot
- Authority: Arbitration exceptions under 5 U.S.C. § 7122.
