CITY OF PITTSBURGH, Respondent
v.
FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE, Fort Pitt Lodge No. 1, Petitioner

No. 293 WAL 2018

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.

January 16, 2019

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 16th day of January, 2019, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:

Did the Commonwealth Court ignore this Supreme Court's existing mandate to defer to a grievance arbitrator's straightforward interpretation of contract language by mislabeling her award the construction of an equitable result, thereby weakening the general assembly's intent for Act 111 awards to create a final and binding resolution of contract disputes?
