The issue in this grievance is whether management violated the National Agreement by requiring the grievant to submit evidence to cover the November 14, 1985 absence due to personal illness. After reviewing this matter, we mutually agreed that no national interpretive issue is fairly presented in this case. Whether management improperly required the grievant to submit evidence in this instance is a local dispute suitable for regional determination by application of Part 513.3 of the ELM to the particular circumstances. Accordingly, we agreed to remand this case to the parties at Step 3 for further processing, including arbitration if necessary.
