The question in this grievance is whether management violated Article 25 of the National Agreement by not selecting the grievant for a higher level detail because his non-scheduled days were different from those of the detail assignment. lt is our position that no national interpretive issue involving the terms and conditions of the National Agreement is fairly presented in this case. Inasmuch as the union declined mutual agreement in this regard, however, the following represents the decision of the Postal Service on the particular fact circumstances involved. A review of the grievance file disclosed that local management's reasons for not selecting the grievant was consistent with the provisions of Article 25. Accordingly, we find no contractual violation and the grievance is denied.
