The issue in this grievance is whether management should consider paid leave hours when implementing the maximization provisions of Article 7. After reviewing this matter, we mutually agreed that no national interpretive issue is fairly presented in this case. For conversion under the provisions of the Article 7 memorandum of Understanding leave will be counted toward the 39 hour requirement provided it is not taken solely to achieve full-time status. In addition, all other provisions of the Article 7 Memorandum of Understanding must be met in order to convert the senior part-time flexible to full-time. Accordingly, we agreed to remand this case to the parties at Step 3 for further processing, including arbitration if necessary.
