While this seems a simple answer to me, the claims, answers, and responses the union has given me lately has me diving back into first principle-levels of understanding.
I'm convinced "the parties" of Article 15.2 are the United States Postal Service and the National Rural Letter Carriers' Association, as identified in the Agreement preamble, yet it seems I may be mistaken, as they are not collectively identified as "the parties".
Granted, I suppose if they were a collective of entities identified as "the parties", then "parties" would be treated as a proper noun and capitalized. I'm leaning more towards they didn't decide on inserting, decided against inserting, or presumed a collective identifier was unnecessary for a collective of two entities.
If anyone can provide any direct evidence on who "the parties" are as identified in the definition of grievance, I'd be grateful.
