please help 3questions !!

thank you !!

About 6 months after the new GMFC-Local 384 contract was ratified, four grievances were sent to arbitration by the union. The company and the union agreed that all four grievances would be heard on separate dates by the same arbitrator. Your name was on the panel the FMCS sent to the parties, and they selected you to arbitrate the grievances. You agreed and have heard all four grievances over the past three days. Now you have to prepare your awards. CASE 1 George Jones was a level 1 assembler in the heavy-components assembly department. He worked with six other assemblers of the same grade, constructing cabs for power shovels. The supervisor, Ralph Barnes, was in charge of three of these heavy-assembly crews. George Jones had been with GMFC for about four years. Over the past six months, he had spent all of his time with his present work crew. In this case, your award should contain: 1. Your ruling on the arbitrability of the grievance. 2. Your rationale in finding on the merits of the case (if arbitrable). 3. If arbitrable, the degree to which you would grant the relief Jones is asking or uphold management
