U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 04-4080
Northern District of Iowa
[PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Heaney and Gruender, Circuit
Judges]
Civil case - arbitration. District court did not err in affirming
arbitrator's finding that employee's absence was covered by the Family
Medical Leave Act; the arbitrator's decision concerning the employee's
tender of a second medical opinion was not such a grave misreading of
the FMLA, as incorporated in the Collective Bargaining Agreement, as to
demonstrate a manifest disregard for law; arbitrator's decision that
employee was disabled, while possibly erroneous, still drew its essence
from the CBA and was entitled to be enforced.
