The issue in these grievances is whether the grievants were improperly required to work more than 6 continuous hours without rest or lunch breaks of 30-minute duration. After further review of this matter, we agreed that there was no national interpretive issue fairly presented as to the meaning and intent of Article 19 of the National Agreement. This is a local factual dispute over the application of Part 432.34 of the Employee and Labor Relations Manual and is an issue suitable for regional determination based on the individual circumstances of each case. Accordingly, we agreed to remand these cases to Step 3 for further consideration by the parties.
