The question in this grievance is whether management violated Article XIX of the National Agreement by allowing the grievant 32 hours for scheme distribution keyboard training (autokey training). 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 together with applicable regulations disclosed that local management followed the proper procedure in allowing the grievant 32 hours of training. Accordingly, we find no contractual violation and the grievance is denied.
