Step 4 Settlement Agreement (NALC): Article 14; Safety and Health (1983)

The question in this grievance is whether management may properly enforce a locally developed seat belt policy.  During our discussion, it was mutually agreed that the following would represent a full settlement of this case:  Local management may request the carriers to comply with his more stringent seat belt policy; however, the postmaster may not require more than what is required in accordance with current national policy as set forth in Postal Bulletin 21389, dated February 3, 1983.
