“In this case, the arbitrator did not explain the reason he found the state of emergency language in the CNA to be ambiguous, requiring testimony outside the four corners of the contract,” Appellate Court Judges Carmen Alvarez and Richard Geiger wrote today.
“The trial court did not offer an explanation either. We do not see an ambiguity in the language, and consider the meaning to be self-evident and straightforward. In those cases, arbitration decisions may be reversed.”
They continued that “the negotiated language was precise” and stated that if the governor issued a state of emergency, city employees who worked during that time would receive double pay.
