Description
ROSENN, Circuit Judge. This appeal raises the question of the finality of an arbitration award rendered by a ""Retirement Board"" selected by the parties pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement. The genesis of the dispute is a disagreement between Ozark Air Lines, Inc. (Ozark), the employer, and Air Line Pilots Association International (ALPA), the signatories to the agreement, on whether ALPA had the right to reopen the Board's award and compel additional proceedings over the denial of disability benefits to its member, Arthur J. Schenk, Jr. Ozark sought an order in the United States District Court1 enjoining Schenk and ALPA from further pursuing the application for disability benefits before the Board, directing the rescission by the National Mediation Board (NMB) of its appointment of a neutral referee and barring it from making any other appointment to the Retirement Board pertaining to Schenk's application for disability retirement benefits. The district court entered summary judgment in favor of Ozark. 617 F. Supp. 400 (1986). We affirm, but reverse the judgment as to the National Mediation Board.
