The question in this grievance is whether or not management violated the 1981 National Agreement by allowing a clerk who was to serve his full regular tour as a 204B, to work 2 hours craft overtime before tour. According to the file, overtime was needed on the day in question due to major scheme changes and a 30 percent increase in mail volume. All available employees on the Overtime Desired List were utilized. Further, we note that this employee was on the Overtime Desired List. The Postal Service takes the position that the employee had not served as a 204B on the workday preceding the day in question nor had he actually begun working in the 204B capacity on the day in question. He was eligible for the overtime.
