Arbitrator's Authority A. The Arbitrator shall have no right to amend, modify, nullify, ignore, add or to subtract from the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Arbitrator shall consider and decide only the specific issue(s) submitted in writing by the Employer and the Union, and shall have no authority to make a decision on any other issue not so submitted.
Authority of the Arbitrator i. It is the intent of both parties to this Collective Agreement that no grievance shall be defeated merely because of a technical error in processing the grievance through the grievance procedure. To this end an arbitrator shall have the power to allow all necessary amendments to the grievance and the power to waive formal procedural irregularities in the processing of a grievance in order to determine the real matter in dispute and to render a decision according to equitable principles and the justice of the case.
Arbitrator Authority The arbitrator shall have the sole and exclusive authority to determine whether a dispute, claim or cause of action is subject to arbitration under this Section and to determine any procedural questions which grow out of such disputes, claims or causes of action and bear on their final disposition.
Arbitrator's Powers The arbitrator shall have no power to render a decision that will add to, subtract from or alter, change or modify the terms of this Agreement, and his/her power shall be limited to interpretation or application of the express terms of this Agreement, and all other matters shall be excluded from arbitration. To the extent that a matter is properly before an arbitrator in accordance with this provision, the arbitrator's decision thereon shall be final and binding providing it is not contrary to existing law or regulation nor requires an appropriation of additional funds, in either of which case it will be advisory in nature. The Parties further agree that questions of arbitrability are proper issues for the arbitrator to decide.
Authority of Arbitration Board The Arbitration Board shall have the power to settle the terms of the question to be arbitrated.
PARTIES’ AUTHORITY The signatories represent that they are fully authorized to enter into this Agreement and bind the Parties to its terms and conditions.
Authority of Arbitrator The expedited arbitrator shall have the same powers and authority as an arbitration board established under the provisions under the Labour Relations Code.
