BRANCH GRIEV NO. 06-109 Class Action PTFs CONVERTED to Full-Time Regular CASE DISPOSITION: SETTLED at ARBITRATION
PTF Conversion grievance settled. Arbitrator Award as follows: · Based on Article 7.3 and the evidence presented, the Union established the need for Management to convert PTF positions to FTR positions. Given the volume of data and evidence presented by the Union, the Arbitrator is unable to make a definitive determination as to the number of positions that must be converted. The matter is remanded to the Parties for determination. Absent such agreement, the matter shall be returned to the Arbitrator for final determination as noted, below. · The Arbitrator understands that the Union’s Advocate put a great deal of information on the Postal Service’s plate during the grievance procedure. The volume of data and records in this case is enormous. As such, the Arbitrator will give the Postal Service the benefit of the doubt in regards to any deficiencies in its response to the grievance and the Union’s massive display of data.
· Based on the foregoing, in keeping with National Level Arbitrators Garrett and Gamser, this Arbitrator finds that: 1) The Union established the need to convert PTFs to FTR positions; 2) The volume of data presented by the Union in support of its position is too vast for the Arbitrator to make a definitive determination as to how many of the twenty-one (21) PTFs should be converted to FTR positions; 3) The matter is therefore remanded to the Parties for mutual agreement as to the number of PTFs that should be converted to FTR positions; 4) In the first instance, the Postal Service will make an evaluation of the data and evidence and present to the Union a determination of how many PTFs, over and above five (5) that it proposes to convert to FTR status; 5) In making this determination, the Postal Service shall take into account and convey to the Union the basis of its determination; and this determination shall take into consideration the criteria that makes up the “standard of practicability” as referred to, above; 6) The Postal Service shall also take into consideration the reversion of the FTR positions, referred to, above; in this regard, the Postal Service shall conduct an analysis of the hours worked by casuals and PTFs performing any work that was otherwise performed by FTR employees whose jobs were reverted; this shall also include overtime hours worked by casuals, PTFs and FTR employees. 7) The Postal Service shall have forty-five (45) days to present its findings and determination to the Union; 8) Thereafter, the Parties shall have forty-five (45) days to reach mutual agreement as to the number of PTFs that shall be converted to FTR positions; 9) Absent such mutual agreement, the matter shall be returned to the Arbitrator for final determination. Such final determination shall be made by the Arbitrator choosing the last, best and final offer made either Party; and this decision will be based on objective and empirical evidence and facts. Put simply, the Arbitrator will chose either the Union’s last offer or the Postal Service’s last offer.
