Local 818, Council 4, American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees v. New Britain Board of Education

Opinion

LAVINE, J.

The plaintiff, Local 818, Council 4, American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (union), appeals from the judgment of the trial court denying its application to vacate the arbitration award in favor of the defendant New Britain Board of Education (board).1 On appeal, the plaintiff claims that (1) the arbitration panel (panel) exceeded its authority, (2) the court erred in its review of the application to vacate by simply comparing the award to the submission, and (3) the panel showed a manifest disregard for the law. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
