HARRY PHILLIPS, Chief Judge,
(dissenting).
I respectfully dissent. I would hold that the arbitrator’s decision was based upon his interpretation of the collective bargaining agreement. As such, it would be inappropriate for this Court to affirm the judgment of the District Court vacating the arbitration award merely because we may disagree with the analysis made by the arbitrator. See United Steelworkers of America v. American Mfg. Co., 363 U.S. 564, 80 S.Ct. 1343, 4 L.Ed.2d 1403 (1960); *1016United Steelworkers of America v. Warrior & Gulf Navigation Co., 363 U.S. 574, 80 S.Ct. 1347, 4 L.Ed.2d 1409 (1960); United Steelworkers of America v. Enterprise Wheel & Car Corp., 363 U.S. 593, 80 S.Ct. 1358, 4 L.Ed.2d 1424 (1960); United Steelworkers of America v. Timken Roller Bearing Co., 324 F.2d 738, 740 (6th Cir. 1963).
The decision of the District Court, in my opinion, should be reversed.
