The grievances involved the establishment of a limited-duty assignment in the clerk craft for a carrier who returned to duty following an on-the-job injury. The union contends that the assignment should have been posted for the clerk craft; the carrier should be removed from the assignment, and an excessed clerk should be awarded the assignment. After further review of this matter, we mutually agreed that no national interpretive issue is fairly presented in the particulars evidenced in the cases. We agreed that the circumstances described in the grievances call for application of Article 13.5 and 6 rather than an interpretation. Accordingly, as we further agreed, these cases are hereby remanded to the parties at Step 3 for further processing if necessary.
