Final FLRA decision. The Authority granted the union's request to withdraw a request for reconsideration and ended its proceeding on that request. This order does not describe the earlier decision or decide the availability of judicial review. 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

AFGE's national council for Social Security field operations had sought reconsideration in this case. The union then asked to withdraw that request. The Authority granted the withdrawal and said it would take no further action on reconsideration. The order does not describe the earlier ruling or the underlying arbitration dispute.

Decision snapshot

  • Authority: Withdrawal of a request for reconsideration in an arbitration case.
  • Outcome: Withdrawal granted; no further Authority action on reconsideration.
  • Key point: The union's withdrawn reconsideration request ended this proceeding before the Authority.
