  MATTER OF:     Eleanor Mickelson - Labor Relations -
                 Objection to GAO review

  DIGEST:
            In accord with 4 C.F.R. Part 22.7 (b),
            GAO will not take jurisdiction of a
            union request for our review of an
            employee's claim where the agency
            objects to GAO's consideration of the
            claim. Nor will we take jurisdiction
            under 4 C.F.R. Part 31 since the claim
            was the subject of a grievance.

     Mr. Craig Kokkeler, Chief Steward of Local 1199,
American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), has
requested our decision concerning the backpay claim of
Ms. Eleanor Mickelson, an employee at Nellis Air Force
Base, Nevada. For the reasons explained below, we will
not assume jurisdiction over this claim.

     Ms. Mickelson's claim for backpay arose because she
allegedly performed the duties of a WG-5 position while
officially occupying and receiving the pay of a WG-4
position. According to the union, in December 1979,
Ms. Mickelson interviewed and was hired for the position
of Meatcutter Worker WG-7407-05. Because she did not have
the necessary health card, however, she was brought on board
in a Store Worker, WG-7602-04 position. She was informed
that she would be placed in the Meatcutter position as soon
as she obtained the health card. Although she did begin
work in the meat department upon receipt of the card, she
was not officially transferred to that department until
several months later. The date of that transfer is not
entirely clear, but it appears to have been either June 1
or July 1, 1980.

     Ms. Mickelson filed a grievance on this matter in
December 1980. In April 1981, she was informed she was to
receive a retroactive temporary promotion and backpay from
the 121st day of her service in the meat department to the
date of her official transfer. That award was made
