The question in this grievance is whether management violated Article 8 of the National Agreement by utilizing a PTF clerk for two hours of clerk craft overtime on a day on which the PTF clerk was used as an acting supervisor (204-B). The facts in this case indicate that the PTF clerk was used as 204-B from 10 p.m. to 12 midnight; and then performed 8 hours of clerk work (6 hours straight time, 2 hours overtime) on the day in question. The union contends that the grievant was used in lieu of a bargaining-unit employee for bargaining-unit overtime, while serving as a 204-B. It is our position that the PTF clerk was properly utilized and compensated on the date in question. The bargaining-unit overtime work performed by the PTF clerk was immediately after a six-hour segment of bargaining-unit work. In addition, the utilization of a PTF employee for bargaining unit overtime instead of a FTR regular employee does not constitute a violation of the National Agreement. Based upon the foregoing considerations, this grievance is hereby denied. Addressed to Maintenance Division but is a Clerk Craft/Article 37 USPS Position Letter.
