The question in this grievance is whether management violated Article 37, Section 3.A.7, by not disqualifying an employee's application for a best qualified position due to the application being submitted while the employee was in a 204B status. The contractual language only refers to senior qualified positions precluding employees in 204B assignments from exercising bids on vacant clerk craft duty assignments. As the language is silent regarding applying for positions, we feel management acted properly in awarding the position to the best qualified applicant. Based on the foregoing conclusions, the grievance is denied.
