08-26-09 TOWNSHIP OF WYCKOFF v. PBA LOCAL 261, ET AL.
A-2268-07T2/A-2527-07T2 (consolidated)
In these consolidated appeals from a trial court
determination that an arbitrator had exceeded his powers in
affording relief to the union and its member, Brenda Groslinger,
we conclude, following federal law, that the standard of review
of an arbitrator's interpretation of the issue submitted to him
is a deferential one. Utilizing that standard, we reverse.
