The issue in this grievance is whether local management violated Articles 19 and 21 of the National Agreement by issuing the disputed Injury Compensation Instructions. After further review of this matter, we mutually agreed that the dispute is one more of application than interpretation and should be resolved at a lower level. Local instructions in regard to the Injury Compensation Program cannot be inconsistent with current provisions of Chapter 540 of the Employee and Labor Relations Manual. Accordingly, as we further agreed, this case is hereby remanded to Step 3 for review by appropriate Regional Officials.
