If the Lodge disagrees as to whether a past practice or benefit does exist, the Lodge may file a grievance over the matter at Step 4 and take the question through the Grievance Procedure for a final and binding decision by an arbitrator as to whether or not a past practice or benefit exists. Nothing herein precludes the parties, through the Labor Relations Committee process, from discussing whether a past practice or benefit exists.
