Heading: Reassignment-of-Work

Text: The district court’s method of analysis in considering the reassignment-ofwork grievances was correct under the CBA. The court’s review of other articles of the CBA to determine whether they apply to each reassignment grievance is consistent with the language of the agreement. Article 11 explicitly makes the exemption for assignment conditional on the other provisions of the CBA. The district court’s method also comports with our reasoning in interpreting a similar collective bargaining agreement between these same parties. See Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers Int’l Union Local 5-391 v. Conoco, Inc., 64 F. App’x 178, 182–83 (10th Cir. 2003) (performing a similar analysis where ConocoPhillips’s right to assign work was “limited by other provisions in the Agreement” (quotation and alteration omitted)). We find this analysis does not constitute an improper review on the merits. The reviewing court may consider the entire CBA to determine whether a grievance implicates a particular provision, as dictated by the terms of Article 11, without actually reaching the merits of the grievance.
