Step 4 Settlement Agreement: Article 8; Hours of Work (1975)

The following disposition of pending national grievance ABNAT-8021 is agreed to by the American Postal Workers Union and the United States Postal Service regarding Article VIII, section 5{f): Except in December or in an emergency, a full-time regular employee whose name is on the overtime Desired List shall not be required to work over 10 hours in a day or more than 6 days in a week. However, any full-time regular employee selected to work overtime pursuant to Article VIII, Section 5(C-D) may request to work beyond the tenth hour or more than 6 days in a week. It will not be a violation of the National Agreement if management grants such requests. This document includes an earlier USPS Denial Letter that preceded this Step 4 Settlement Agreement.
