The question in this grievance is whether management violated the National Agreement by hiring Kelley Girls to work in the computer room and zip code look-up room at the Dallas Bulk Mail Center. 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 grievance file disclosed no contractual violation. In making the decision to use the Kelley Girls, local management Apparently gave due consideration to public interest, cost efficiency, availability of equipment, and qualification of employee as required by the provisions of Article 32.1.A. As we find no contractual violation, the grievance is denied. This document contains two Article 32 related issues; a Clerk Craft USPS Position Letter on page 1 and a Maintenance Craft USPS Position Letter on page 2.
