The Third Circuit Court of Appeals struck the arbitration award because the issuing arbitration board improperly revised its decision without the parties' consent in violation of the "functus officio" doctrine. https://lawstreetmedia.com/tech/3rd-circuit-issues-precedential-opinion-in-verizon-labor-arbitration-award-dispute/
