Tbe question in this grievance is whether or not management violates Article 32 of the 1981 National Agreement by allowing non-postal employees to perform post office box duties at a contract station in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. The union contends that the post office box clerk in the Mount Pleasant Office should be assigned to perform the duties relevant to post office box operations at the contract station. Based upon our review of information contained in this file we do not believe the the provisions of the National Agreement have been violated as contended in this case. The subject duties have customarily been performed by non-postal personnel for at least twenty years. This is evidenced by the fact that over one-half million post office boxes are currently in contract stations throughout the nation. Accordingly, as we find no violation of the National
Agreement, this grievance is denied.
