The issue in this grievance is whether management violated Article 17 of the National Agreement by denying a steward's request to interview employees of different crafts. 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 17 of the National Agreement. The parties at this level agree that a steward may interview employees of different crafts if such request is being made pursuant to Article 17, Section 3, of the National Agreement. However, if the steward is investigating a grievance not relevant to the steward 's craft, the provisions of Article 17, Sections: 2.B. and 2.E., must be followed. Accordingly, we agreed to remand this case to Step 3 for further consideration by the parties.
