Union Representation Rights. 1. The interpretation and application of the provisions of this Award shall be grievable under Article 15. Any such grievance may be introduced at Step B and shall be subject to priority arbitration. 2. The Employer shall provide to the affected Union(s) a quarterly report on all reassignments, layoff and reduc- tions in force made under this Article. 3. Preference eligibles are not deprived of whatever rights of appeal such employees may have under applicable laws and regulations. If the employee appeals under the Veterans’ Preference Act, however, the time limits for appeal to arbitration and the normal contractual arbitra- tion scheduling procedures are not to be delayed as a consequence of that appeal; if there is an MSPB appeal pending as of the date the arbitration is scheduled by the parties, the grievant waives access to the grievance-arbi- tration procedure beyond Step B.
