DECISION

October 17, 1991

Before Chairman McKee and Members Talkin and Armendariz.

I. Statement of the Case

This matter is before the Authority on an exception to an award of Arbitrator I. B. Helburn filed by the Union under section 7122(a) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute) and part 2425 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations. The Agency filed an opposition to the exception.

The Agency downgraded the classification of certain positions. After new position descriptions were approved, the original classification was reinstated. The Union filed a grievance claiming that employees were due backpay for the period of the downgrade. The Arbitrator denied the grievance.
