The question in this grievance is whether or not management violated Article XI of the National Agreement with regard to holiday scheduling. On February 3, 1981, management posted a schedule indicating the number of people required to fill their holiday (George Washington's birthday) needs. On February 11, 1981, management posted another schedule which excluded 37 of the employees that were included on the February 3, 1981 posting. The dates for holiday scheduling purposes were February 14, 15, and 16. It is the position of the USPS that the posting of February 11, 1981, becomes the official holiday posting. This is clearly stated in Article 11, Section 6 which reads:
The Employer will determine the number and categories of employees needed for holiday work and a schedule shall be posted as of the Wednesday preceding the service week in which the holiday falls.
