This Step 4 Settlement Agreement addresses whether local management violated Article 10 and 19 of the National Agreement by implementing local tardiness and sick leave policies. After further review of this matter, it was mutually agreed that this issue was a matter of application rather than interpretation. A local Attendance Program cannot be inconsistent with ELM 510, and any disciplinary action which results from a local policy must meet the just cause provision of Article 16. Accordingly, the parties agreed that the parties at Step 3 were to once again review these cases to ascertain if the local policy conformed with ELM regulations.
