The question concerns whether or not postal employees must service lock boxes at contract post offices. It is the position of the Postal Service that in contract post offices, non-postal personnel have customarily made mail distribution to lock boxes. This fact was recognized by Arbitrator Mittenthal in his award on grievance H1C-4P-C 1792, concerning whether city carriers may make mail distribution to detached lock boxes over clerks. Accordingly, we find no violation of the National Agreement, this grievance is denied.
