As a result of this review we believe that the operation of a power driven waxer and other heavy duty industrial equipment as outlined in the job description of a custodial laborer level 3, are not encompassed or intended to apply within the job description of a level 2 custodian, therefore, the grievance is sustained. The remedy in resolving this grievance is that in the future when the Postal Service assigns level 2 custodians to operate power driven waxers, buffers and other heavy duty industrial equipment the employee will be compensated at the higher level pay (level 3) for the time assigned to that duty. As we mutually agreed, there will be no retroactivity of pay for work performed in the past by the grievants regarding the use of power driven waxers.
