Abstract

The Employer allowed a temporary employee to work in a preferred assignment for approximately 1.5 hours. The Union claims that neither part-time nor temporary employees are allowed to be used in preferred assignments. A regular full-time employee on the next shift should have been brought in 1.5 hours ahead of time on an over-time basis. The Employer argues that a high mail volume situation had prevailed and that the employees had worked in a continuous full-time assignment and had been assigned to an area where there was a shortage.
