The question in this grievance is whether or not management violates Article XXXVII of the National Agreement by working some senior part-time flexibles more days and less hours than some junior part-time flexibles.  The local Union requests that work hours and days of part-time flexibles be equalized.  It is our position that no contractual provision requires that part-time flexibles be worked equal hours and days or by seniority.  Normally management schedules PTFs according to their work location and to the mail volume being worked.  Accordingly, as we find no violation of the National Agreement, this grievance is denied.
