The issue in this grievance is whether the subject disciplinary action was properly reviewed in accordance with the National Agreement. After further review of this matter, we agreed that there was no national interpretive issue fairly presented as to the meaning and intent of Article 16 of the National Agreement. This is a factual dispute over the application of Article 16, Section 8, of the 1981 National Agreement. Whether the subject disciplinary action was properly reviewed can only be determined by application of the above-referenced provision to the specific fact circumstances involved. Therefore, this case is suitable for regional determination. Accordingly, we agreed to remand this case to Step 3 for further consideration by the parties.
