   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-1943
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Springfield   
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Chief Judge Riley and Bye, Circuit Judges.] Labor Case - arbitration. Following arbitration of termination of employee, arbitrator concluded conduct did not rise to level of insubordination because actions were negligent rather than willful or deliberate action, and ordered 30-day suspension in lieu of termination. District court upheld arbitrator's decision. Contrary to employer's argument that arbitrator ignored plain language of contract, we are bound to enforce the arbitrator's arguable construction or application of contract. Arbitrator did not err in disregarding the Management Rights clause of the agreement, as the arbitrator appropriately interpreted the actions under the just-cause requirements. Enforcement of the arbitrator's award is affirmed.
