The issue in this grievance is whether the August 27, 1984 policy regarding job· related injuries/illnesses violates the National Agreement.
After further review of this matter, we mutually agreed that there was : no national interpretive issue fairly presented in this case; This is a local dispute suitable for regional ·determination by application of Section 542 of the ELM." The parties further agreed that there shall not be a blanket instruction to controvert an injury claim or to issue discipline... Controversion of such claims should be consistent with provisions of Part 545 of the ELM. Each disciplinary action must stand the test of just cause. Accordingly, as we further agreed, this case is hereby remanded to Step 3 for further consideration by the parties.
