IThis USPS Step 4 Denial outlines Management's position where the Union alleges that management has breached the terms of the National Agreement because they were sending MPE, PS-6 employees to developmental training before giving MPE, PS-7 training opportunities to increase skills in their present assignment on a senior-qualified volunteer basis. The Level 6 MPE mechanics were sent for training in accordance with Article 38.3.B.2.B. The Postal Service determined that there was no obligation on the part of management to first schedule MPE, PS-7 for additional training before granting to Level 6's the opportunity for extended knowledge and opportunity.
