 MATTER OF: Willie W. Cunningham      Arbitrator, Award of
                Retroactive Promotion and Backpay

 DIGEST:        Federal Labor Relations Council requested decision
                on legality of arbitrator's award of retroactive
                promotion and backpay. Arbitrator found grievant
                was assigned higher duties but was not given
                temporary promution as provided in negotiated
                agreement. Award may not be implemented since
                new position had not yet been classified and
                grievant cannot be promoted to a position
                which did not exist.


     This action involves the request of December 16, 1975, by the
Federal Labor Relations Council (FLRC) for an advance decision as
to the legality of a retroactive promotion with backpay awarded by
an arbitrator in che matter of vl  or   nion, Louisville,
Kentucky and Local Lod-e -o, CO . Intenation     c
    Machinits andAer .-uce vo_ r Care (Thiiomson, A.rbitrator), AZL.C
No. 75A-9.. The case is before the Federzl Labor xelations (council
as a result of a petition for review lled by the agency aileging
that the award violates applicable laws and reguiaLiosa.

     The grievant in this case, Ms. Willie V. Cunningham, had been
employed by the Naval Ordnance Station in the position of Mail
Clerk, GS-305-G3, since 1970, and, since .at least July 1974, she
had been spending part of her time performaing duties as a Dindary
Heloer at the specific request of her supervisor. The grievant
apparently informally discussed with her supervisor the possibility
of a higher job classilication and higher pay, and on November 27,
1974, she fomally requested a promotion to the position of
Helper, Bindery Worker. This requcst was denied and she filed a
grievance on Deconseer 19, 1974, requesting a promation to the
position of Helper, Bindery, effective September 29, 1974. The
agency, on December 9, 1974, officially classified the position
of Helper (Bindery), WP-4404-04, and the position description
stated that 7  ;ercent of the typical work performed in the
position would involve bindery work and 3j percent would involve
mail distribution. Ms. Cunningham was given a temporary pro-
motion to this position on December 22, 1974, and was permanently
promoted to the position on February 16, 1975.
