The issue in this grievance is whether management properly changed the grievant's scheme by listing multiple street addresses as one scheme item. After reviewing this matter, we mutually agreed that no national interpretive issue is fairly presented in this case. This is a local dispute suitable for regional determination by application of Chapter l of the M-5 Handbook to the fact circumstances. The parties at this level agree that multiple streets with a common name may be grouped as one scheme item when assigned to the same carrier and with no exceptions. When, however, this same address and outing information is split between or among carrier. routes, such as in this case, each address constitutes separate scheme item. Accordingly, we agreed to remand this case to the parties at Step 3 for application of the above understanding and further processing.
