The question in this grievance is whether management violated Article 32 of the National Agreement by subcontracting the painting of mail boxes. It is our position that no national interpretive issue involving the terms and conditions of the National Agreement is fairly presented in this case. Inasmuch as the union declined mutual agreement in this regard, however, the following represents the decision of the Postal Service on
the particular fact circumstances involved. A review of the information provided disclosed no contractual violation. In making the decision to subcontract the painting management apparently followed the provisions of Article 32.1.A. Having found no contractual violation the grievance is denied. This document contains two Article 32 related issues; a Step 4 Settlement Agreement on page 1 and a USPS Position Letter on page 2.
