The question in this grievance is whether management properly withheld delivery of accountable mail. On a non precedent and non citable basis and without prejudice to the position of either party, the parties at the national level agree to the following as final settlement of this grievance:
The parties agreed that delivery of accountable mail is made on a daily basis. However, it is a common practice to hold mail for businesses or private residences, where it is known that there is no one to receive the mail, or in cases such as this, where the addressee requests that no delivery be made. Further, customers are permitted to request special handling instructions for the delivery of their mail, as provided by Sections 231.3 and 722 of the M-41 Handbook.
