The issue in this grievance is whether the grievant' reinstatallent was handled properly in regard to seniority, pay level and layoff protection. After further review of this matter, we mutually agreed that there was no national interpretive issue fairly presented as to the meaning and intent of Articles 13, 21, and 37 of the National Agreement. The grievant was re employed by the Postal Service under the provisions of the Department of Labor and Postal Service Joint Rehabilitation Program. The facts put forth in our respective case files indicate that this dispute is of application not interpretation. This case should be handled by applying the provisions of the Rehabilitation Program, Articles 13, 21 and 37 of the National Agreement and the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs Compensation regulations. Accordingly, as we further agreed, this case is hereby remanded to step 3 for further development and consideration if necessary by the parties.
