Facts of the Case
Background
The appellant employer association sought a reduction of the minimum wage from US$150.00 to US$105.00, citing an unfavorable economic climate and inability of its members to pay. The respondent union opposed the reduction. The arbitrator declined to reduce the wage, finding he lacked jurisdiction to alter a registered CBA. The employer appealed this decision.
