The issue in this National Level Arbitration was whether, for purposes of applying this ratio, clerk PSEs are included in or not included in "the clerk craft complement." Section 2 of the Clerk Craft Jobs MOU provided for the creation of Lead Clerk assignments in any facilities "where clerks work without direct supervision and in facilities that have a minimum complement of five (5) clerks." Section 2 also established a ratio between the number of Lead Clerk assignments in "the clerk craft complement in a facility" and the number of "clerks."
Award Summary: Arbitrator Das ruled that for purposes of applying the ratio in Section 2 of the Clerk Craft Jobs MOU, clerk PSEs are not included in "the clerk craft complement in a facility."
