The issue in this grievance is the extent to which prior discipline may be utilized under the terms of Article 16.10 of the National Agreement. We agreed that a notice of discipline which is subsequently fully rescinded, whether by settlement, arbitration award, or independent management action, shall be deemed not to have been "initiated" for purposes of Article 16, Section 10, and may not be cited or considered in any subsequent disciplinary action. Accordingly, we agreed to remand this case to the parties at Step 3 for further processing, including arbitration if necessary.
