Arbitrator Shyam Das sustained the APWU grievance and ruled that the USPS violated Article 32.1.B by not giving the union an opportunity to meet with it regarding AOI installation and maintenance work involving cabling and AOI servers. Arbitrator Das ordered that the Postal Service assign maintenance of “AOI servers – to the extent they remain in operation – and the LAN cabling within the AOs to the maintenance craft.” He also directed that the parties discuss “the possibility of additional LAN maintenance work in the AOs being assigned to the bargaining unit.”
