Arbitrator's Powers and Jurisdiction.

The arbitrarial forum here established is intended to resolve disputes between the parties only over the interpretations or applications of the matters which are specifically covered in this Agreement and which are not excluded from arbitration. The arbitrator shall have no power to add to or subtract from or modify any of the terms of this Agreement or any supplementary agreement, nor to rule on any matter except while this Agreement is in full force effect between the parties. The arbitrator shall have no power to establish wage scales or rates, or to change any rate unless it is provided for in this Agreement.

In the event a case is appealed to an arbitrator and the arbitrator finds no power to rule on such case, the matter shall be referred back to the parties without decision or recommendation on the case. The award of the arbitrator shall be based exclusively on evidence presented at the arbitration hearing and the award under no circumstances shall be based on other extra contract matters not specifically incorporated in this Agreement.
