Outcome

The First Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the district court's vacation of an arbitrator's award and ordered reinstatement of a nurse who was terminated following an infant patient's death. The court found the arbitrator did not exceed her authority in reducing the employer's chosen penalty from discharge to suspension under the collective bargaining agreement.
