well-established procedures often makes it difficult, if not impossible, to determine what occurred with respect to specific posts. The absence of such procedures may lend itself to improper- 18 - conduct and to inferences of unfair treatment when the surrounding circumstances are equivocal or inadequately explained. The Tribunal expresses the hope that the Administration will promptly take steps to establish proper procedures. XIX.The Panel on Discrimination seemed to be impressed with evidence that, long before the episode in question, the Applicant began having controversies with the Administration because of positions he was taking as a union representative and because of other conflicts which apparently stemmed from his personality. If the Applicant was treated unfairly in connection with any of the earlier episodes referred to by the Panel, those should have been the subject of timely efforts by him for seeking redress. This was apparently not done. XX.For the foregoing reasons, the application is rejected in its entirety.
