The question raised in this grievance involves whether a letter of warning was for just cause, yet was referred to Step 4 as an interpretive issue by the USPS Regional Labor Relations Representative. The matters the Step 3 parties obviously desires interpreted, involves Section 514.22, Employee and Labor Relations Manual and Executive Order 5396. After further review of this matter, we mutually agreed that no National interpretive issue is fairly presented in the particulars evidenced in this case. Executive Order 5396, signed July 17, 1930 by President Herbert Hoover is clear and unambiguous as to the responsibilities of both the employer and the employee. For the benefit of all concerned, a copy of subject Executive Order is enclosed.
