This Step 4 Settlement Agreement involved the tie-breaking provisions of Article 38. In this specific case, five employees were selected for MPE positions at the Memphis Post Office. One of those selected was a carrier who worked at the post office, and the other four were MPEs who worked at the BMC. For purposes of establishing seniority standings, the carrier was given primary consideration because he worked at the installation where the vacancies existed. During the discussion, the parties agreed that in establishing seniority under the circumstances described, maintenance craft service should be given primary consideration.
