Step 4 Settlement Agreement: Article 37.3.F.7; Posting, Bidding, and Application (1985)

This Step 4 Settlement Agreement addresses whether management violated the National Agreement by placing the next senior bidder in Job # 697 instead of the grievant. After reviewing this matter, the parties mutually agreed that no national interpretive issue was fairly presented in this case, and that whether Job # 697 was properly posted and awarded, was a local dispute suitable for regional determination based upon the fact circumstances. The parties at this level further agreed that, if after further investigation, it was determined that the job was a window position without a scheme and the senior bidder withdrew, the next senior bidder should have been placed into training consistent with the provisions of Article 37.3.F.7.
