Re: MOU on Temporary Extensions on Step 3 and Arbitration Appeals (pdf)

Please find attached a copy of the Memorandum of Understanding on the Temporary Extension on Step 3 and Arbitration
Appeals.

Due to the impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic, the parties have agreed to extend the time limits for appealing grievances
to Step 3 and to arbitration for an additional 30 days. This agreement is effective through May 18, 2020. Prior to the
expiration of this 30-day period, the parties will revisit this issue to determine if an additional extension is warranted.
If you have any questions, please contact the National Contract Administrative Department or your Regional Director.
