During our discussion, we concluded that the issue in this grievance was whether management may work part-time flexibles six (6) days a week instead of five (5) days a week when casuals are being used. After reviewing the information provided, it is our position that management is not precluded from working part-time flexibles more than 5 days a week when casuals are employed. Management may consider the workload and composition of the workload during the entire service week when assigning part-time flexibles and casuals. Article VII of the National Agreement does however, impose on management the obligation to give priority in scheduling to the part-time flexible. Based on the evidence presented in this grievance management properly scheduled the part- time flexible. Accordingly, this grievance is denied.
