The question in this grievance is whether local management violated the National Agreement by permitting a military organization to use post office space. In this case, the Fort Hood Mail Control Unit uses space on the workroom floor at the Fort Hood Branch to introduce Fort Hood mail into the mailstream. The union contends that security problems have resulted from locating the unit on the workroom floor. 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. According to management, adequate security is being provided. No evidence to the contrary has been presented. Also, no evidence of a contractual violation was found. Having found no violation, the grievance is denied.
