The question in this grievance is whether local management violated Article 19 of the National Agreement by publishing a policy which prohibited the wearing of shoes designed for sports or athletics whether or not they had steel toes on the workroom floor. It is the position of the Postal Service that the local policy did not violate either ELM 583 or the provisions on new footwear as published in Postal Bulletin No. 21358, dated July 1, 1982. Accordingly, as we find no violations, the grievance is denied.
