This USPS Step 4 Denial outlines Management's position on whether management violated Article 38 of the National Agreement by reverting a Maintenance Control Clerk position. The union contended that management violated the time limits set forth in Article 38 for reverting positions; that the reasons given for reverting the position were unacceptable; and finally that the duties continue to be performed so reversion was unnecessary. It was the position of the Postal Service that Article 38.2.A.4 & 5 establishes a 40-day time limit for completing the reversion process, and that the process in this case was completed in 29 days. Having found no contractual violations, the grievance was denied.
