The issue iri this case is whether management was proper, in accepting an application for an Express Mail Technician (PS-6) position from a clerk serving as an acting supervisor (204-B). The facts in this case indicate that Clerk Frety was serving as a 204B when she submitted an application for the position of Express Mail Technician, a best qualified position. Clerk Frety was ultimately awarded, and assigned to the Express Mail Technician position. The union contends that Clerk Frety was precluded from submitting the disputed application by the provisions of Article·37, Section 3(A)7. This section provides that "Clerks temporarily detailed to a supervisory position (204b) may not bid on vacant clerk craft duty assignments while so detailed."
