The issue in this grievance is whether the grievant was issued a PS Form 50 improperly beginning a new six year period of continuous service to achieve protected status under Article 6 of the National Agreement. After reviewing this matter, we mutually agreed that no National interpretive issue is fairly presented in this case. The military service as described herein is considered "work" for the purpose of Article 6, Section A3. Accordingly, the PS Fora 50 shall be corrected to reflect that no break in service occurred. Accordingly, we agreed to remand this case to the parties at Step 3 for further processing including arbitration if necessary.
