Based on the evidence presented in this grievance, the carrier did not work a full day due to the carrier taking off to take care of personal business. Work was available for this carrier to perform for a full eight hours, but the carrier chose to be off. The file failed to substantiate that this or any other regular carrier has been told to report for part of the day when a regular carrier was to be called in on their non-scheduled day. We did agree during our Step 4 meeting that management would not solicit employees to work less than their guarantees rather than soliciting employees who would work their full guarantees. We agreed to consider this grievance closed with this understanding. This document contains two Article 8 related issues; a USPS Position Letter on Page 1 (should be a Step 4 Agreement as referenced, but contains only one signature), and a USPS Position letter on Page 2.
