Borough of East Rutherford v. East Rutherford Pba Local 275, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division judgment reinstating the public‑sector arbitration award, holding that the arbitrator's interpretation of the collective bargaining agreement was reasonably debatable and that the award's remedy was within the arbitrator's authority and not contrary to law or public policy. Justice PATTERSON dissented, arguing the award violated statutory co‑payment mandates and exceeded arbitratorial authority.
