Affirmed the trial court's decision to vacate an arbitration award pursuant to R.C. 2711.10(D). The arbitrator exceeded his power by issuing an award that was not rationally derived from the terms of the collective bargaining agreement when the union was not designated as a representative of retirees under the collective bargaining agreement, there were no provisions in the agreement that concerned retirees' health-insurance reimbursement benefits, and the agreement limited grievances to disputes concerning the interpretation or application of any provision of the collective bargaining agreement.
