Step 4 Settlement Agreement: Article 8: Hours of Work (1986)

The issue in this grievance is whether management violated the National Agreement by assigning part-time flexibles instead of full time regulars to work overtime. After reviewing this matter, we mutually agreed that no national interpretive issue is fairly presented in this case. We agreed that as stated in the Mittenthal arbitration award on Grievance Nos. M-8-W 27 and M-8-W 32, “…Nothing in Article 8, Section 5 states, expressly or by implication, that overtime must be offered to full-time regulars before it can be offered to part-time flexibles.” Accordingly, we agreed to remand this case to the parties at Step 3 for application of the above to the facts involved.
