ROBERTS, Justice,
concurring.
As observed by the majority, the scope of judicial review of an arbitrator’s award is highly circumscribed. “It is the arbitrator’s construction which was bargained for and so far as the arbitrator’s decision concerns the construction of the contract, the courts have no business overruling him because *389their interpretation of the contract is different from his.” United Steelworkers v. Enterprise Wheel and Car Corp., 363 U.S. 593, 599, 80 S.Ct. 1358, 1362, 4 L.Ed.2d 1424 (I960). See also Bole v. Nationwide Insurance Co., 475 Pa. 187, 193, 379 A.2d 1346, 1349 (1977) (Roberts, J., dissenting).
Applying this standard of review, I am satisfied that the arbitrator’s award was proper and should be upheld. Accordingly, I concur in the result reached by the majority.
NIX, J., joins this opinion.
