Description
Defendant, UAW, appeals from a summary judgment granted by the District Court in favor of the plaintiff, A.P. Parts, in AP's action to vacate an arbitration award under § 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. § 184 (1947). The question before us does not arise from a grievance by an individual employee, as is usually the case. Rather the question, as further explained below, is whether the arbitrator gave an irrational construction to an important contract provision, allowing him then to direct the parties to renegotiate terms already settled in contract talks, thereby undermining the operation of a new bonus incentive system designed to increase plant-wide productivity and job security. Judge Woods found the award to be contrary to the plain language of the contract and granted summary judgment in favor of AP. For the reasons set forth below, we agree.
