The issue in this grievance is whether management properly denied the union's request to review testing materials. The facts in this case indicate that an employee did not receive a bid assignment based on her failure to pass the Postal Service driving test. The union requested specific test information. Management denied the union's request. The union contends that management is required to release the requested information in accordance with the provisions of the National Agreement. The Administrative Support Manual, Part 353.324 states, "An individual may review and have copies of any information pertaining to himself that is contained in a record filed or cross-indexed under his name or other identifier, except the following: ... d. Testing Material. Information within records that might compromise testing or examination materials. Therefore, the denial by management to release the subject information was proper in this instance.
