The question in this grievance is whether or not management violates Article X of the National Agreement by not allowing an employee to voluntarily change his work schedule to coincide with the days of work the employee was required to be in court under the circumstances which would make him eligible for court leave. We mutually agreed, in accord with Arbitrator Gamser's decision dated October 3, 1980, that where it is established in an appropriate proceeding that management of an installation has consistently interpreted the provisions of the E&LR Manual and the related provisions of any earlier manual, regulation, or the Federal Personnel Manual, to allow employees to change their work days, as well as their work hours, to coincide with the court circumstances above, management must continue such practice or revert to such practice until and unless a change in the provision of the E&LR Manual is made pursuant to the procedure in Article XIX of the National Agreement. We further agreed to resolve this grievance on the above stated basis.
