Machine Malfunction Arbitration (June 2010)

"Arbitrator Raymond decided that the two repeat bets were not the result of machine malfunction. This decision has little significance beyond this case. This case has once again demonstrated the burden the Union must overcome to convince an arbitrator that a machine has malfunctioned. Please forward to the Union any significant instances of tote malfunctions, including tote reports.

This decision has only increased the Union's resolve to challenge shortages related to incorrect tickets."
