Can you fight an arbitration decision?

In California, errors of law committed by the arbitrator, no matter how substantial, are generally not grounds for challenging the arbitrator's award. The rationale is because the parties have agreed that the arbitrator's decision, whether right or wrong, would be final and conclusive.

Once an arbitrator issues an award, either an agency or a union may appeal the arbitrator's award by filing an "exception" with the Authority within 30 days after the date on which the Arbitrator served the award on the parties.
