The question raised in this grievance is whether the installation of Neighborhood Collection and Delivery Box Units (NCDBU's) and concrete slabs should be performed by maintenance craft employees instead of a private contractor. During our discussion, we agreed that if there are no time constraints and sufficient manpower is available, maintenance craft employees will be used to perform the work. However, it is our mutual understanding that if faced with problems such as time constraints, insufficient manpower, etc., management will take appropriate measures, including contracting out, to ensure completion of the work. Based on the above and our review of the case file, we agreed to close this case as no further action is required. This document contains two Article 32 related issues; a Step 4 Settlement Agreement on page 1 and a USPS Position Letter on page 2.
