Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit August 13, 1985, 84-3718 (Ford Motor Company v. Plant Protection Association National)

LIVELY, Chief Judge.

In this case the court must determine whether two awards of an arbitrator drew their essence from a collective bargaining agreement between Ford Motor Company (Ford) and Plant Protection Association National (PPA). This is a recurring issue in the federal courts and the guiding principles have been established in decisions of the Supreme Court and this court.
