6.6 <br /> <br />The arbitrator shall be without power to make decisions contrary to, or <br />inconsistent with, or modifying or varying in any way the application of laws, <br />rules, or regulations having the force and effect of law. The arbitrator's <br />decision shall be submitted in writing within thirty (30) days following the <br />close of the hearing or the submission of briefs by the parties, whichever be <br />later, unless the parties agree to an extension. The decision shall be <br />binding on both the EMPLOYER and the UNION and shall be based solely <br />on the arbitrator's interpretation or application of the express terms of this <br />AGREEMENT and to the facts of the grievance presented. <br /> <br />Co <br /> <br />The fees and expenses for the arbitrator's services and proceedings shall <br />be borne equally by the EMPLOYER and the UNION provided that each <br />party shall be responsible for compensating its own representatives and <br />witnesses. If either party desires a verbatim record of the proceedings, it <br />may cause such a record to be made, providing it pays for the record. If <br />both parties desire a verbatim record of the proceedings the cost shall be <br />shared equally. <br /> <br />If a grievance is not presented within the time limits set forth above, it shall be <br />considered "waived". If a grievance is not appealed to the next step within the <br />specified time limit or any agreed extension thereof, it shall be considered settled <br />on the basis of the EMPLOYER'S last answer. If the EMPLOYER does not <br />answer a grievance or an appeal thereof within the specified time limits, the <br />UNION may elect to treat the grievance as denied at that step and immediately <br />appeal the grievance to the next step. The time limit in each step may be <br />extended by mutual agreement of the EMPLOYER and the UNION. <br /> <br />ARTICLE VII - RAVINGS CLAURE <br /> <br /> In the event any provision of this AGREEMENT shall be held to be contrary to law <br />by court of competent jurisdiction from whose final judgment or decree no appeal has <br />been taken within the time provided, such provision shall be voided. All other provisions <br />of this AGREEMENT shall continue in full force and effect. The voided provision may be <br />renegotiated at the request of either party. <br /> <br />ARTICLE VIII - WORK SCHEDULER <br /> <br />8.1 <br /> <br />The normal work year for full-time employees is two thousand eighty (2,080) hours <br />to be accounted for by each employee through: <br /> <br />a) <br />b) <br />c) <br />d) <br /> <br />hours worked on assigned shifts; <br />holidays; <br />assigned training; <br />authorized leave time. <br /> 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
