Heading: Appropriate Arrangement

Text: 39 The Union concedes that it failed to argue below that proposal 27 was an appropriate arrangement, and that such failure normally would bar it from raising the issue on review. See 5 U.S.C. Sec. 7123(c) (1988) (No objection that has not been urged before the Authority, or its designee, shall be considered by the court....). It insists, however, that because the Authority ruled sua sponte that the proposal was not such an arrangement, it should be permitted to raise the issue in this court. Under established caselaw, it is clear that because it was not properly raised with the Authority, this issue cannot be considered by the court. See NLRB v. FLRA, 2 F.3d 1190, 1195-96 (D.C.Cir.1993).
