The issue in this grievance is whether management is violating the agreement by requiring all potential driving employees to have a complete medical examination, and whether a urinalysis test may be ordered by the Postal Medical Officer. During our discussion, we mutually agreed that no interpretive issue is fairly represented in this case. We further agreed that the EL-827, Section 261.1 provides that all potential driving employees who have met all applicable requirements for assignments to driving positions must be scheduled for a complete medical exam with results documented on forms 2485 and 4583, with exceptions as outlined in EL-827, 261.2. A urinalysis test may be required in the judgment of the examining medical officer in accordance with ELM 864.33. Across-the-board drug testing and/or random drug testing of present employees is prohibited under any circumstance, under current policy as established by the August 6, 1989, memo from SAPMG Charters.
