The issue in this grievance is whether a VOMA, who bid into the position from the Carrier Craft, should be allowed to bid for choice vacation with the Carrier Craft. During our discussion, we mutually agreed that the following constitutes full and final settlement of this case:
While employees from several crafts (clerk, carrier, special delivery, and PS 5, & 6 motor vehicle) are eligible to bid on a vacant VOMA position, once an employee becomes the successful bidder, he/she is represented by, and is treated as a member of, that same craft. This also applies to choice vacation bidding. In the future, the subject office will allow the VOMA to bid for choice vacation with the carrier craft. This document contains two Article 10 related issues; a NALC Step 4 Agreement on Page 1 , and a Maintenance Craft Step 4 Agreement on Page 2.
