2. The area of consideration for filling bargaining unit positions will be in accordance with the MLA and appropriate regulations.

3. Any reduction in force caused by DMRD 902 will be negotiated in accordance with the labor statute and the MLA.

Such voluntary action will be communicated to employees by written notice.

5.a. The transfer of personnel from AFLC to DLA will be in accordance with FPM Supplement 351-1, Subchapter 10. When the individual(s) to be functionally transferred cannot be identified by method 1 as discussed in this subchapter or the transfer of workload does not meet the definition of functional transfer contained in this subchapter, selection procedures will be as follows:

(1) Retention registers will be developed. These registers will contain only the names of the people in the work area to be transferred.

(2) Volunteers will be requested from the work area to be transferred. Volunteers will be accepted for positions with the title, series, and grade currently held.

(3) If there are too many volunteers selection will be by the highest retention standing.

(4) If there are not enough volunteers, selection will be by the lowest retention standing.

(5) People from work areas not being transferred to DLA may volunteer for transfer. However, management retains the right to determine who among this group will be allowed to transfer in the place of an employee identified through the procedures outlined above. Such determinations will not be arbitrary or capricious.

5.b. Temporary reassignment such as loans or details from AFLC to DLA will be handled in the following manner:

(1) Volunteers with the necessary skills will be requested.

(2) If there are too many volunteers, selection will be by the highest service computation date (Leave).

(3) If there are not enough volunteers, selection will be from those with the necessary skills with the people with the lowest service computation date selected first.

(4) Management reserves the right to make exceptions to this order of selection in accordance with applicable law if it would significantly conflict with mission accomplishment. Such decisions will not be arbitrary or capricious.

6. AFLC will provide each employee identified for transfer to DLA a written notification 60 days prior to the transfer. The notice will provide reasons why the employee was identified for transfer. Employees who believe they have been improperly identified have the right to question and/or challenge this action in an appropriate forum, including:

a. Discussion with any appropriate supervisor, manager, civilian personnel, etc.

b. A grievance filed in a timely manner in accordance with the negotiated grievance procedure in the Master Labor Agreement (MLA).
