EEO Complaints. 1. The processing of any grievance regarding an issue or fact situation which is also the subject of a formal EEO complaint shall be deferred until a final agency (USPS) decision or decision on appeal therefrom is rendered on the EEO complaint. The disposition of any allegation of discrimination in such proceeding shall be dispositive and binding on the same or sim- ilar issues presented in the deferred grievance. Management’s Step 2 representative will provide written notification to the appropriate state xxxxxxx that an EEO complaint has also been filed. In the event the grievance has been appealed to Step 3 or Step 4, management’s Step 3 or Step 4 representa- tive will provide the same written notice to the union representative at the step involved. Upon final disposition of the EEO complaint, only those contractual issues which are separate and dis- tinct from the discrimination issue may be reactivated in the grievance process at the same Step at which the grievance was deferred. The grievance will be reactivated by immediate scheduling for discussion at the step of the grievance procedure which the grievance had reached when deferred or, if applic- able, will be moved to the head of the arbitration docket. Notwithstanding the foregoing, within fifteen (15) days after the filing of an EEO complaint, either party may notify the other that an otherwise deferrable grievance should continue to be processed where such grievance involves a removal action. Should the Union decline to continue to process a removal action after notification, such grievance shall be considered closed upon the expi- ration of the appropriate time limits for appeal or fif- teen (15) days, whichever is longer.
