This Step 4 Settlement Agreement involved whether or not it was proper to revert full-time Maintenance Control Clerk positions in order to establish Maintenance Control and Stock Clerk, SP2- 85, positions. The parties agreed that there did not appear to be a National dispute between the Union and the Postal Service relative to the manner in which the Maintenance Control and Stock Clerk position was to be used. In creating the subject position, it was intended that it would be used in small maintenance capable offices where there was not sufficient work on a tour to justify either a full-time Maintenance Control Clerk or Tool and Parts Clerk position. It would not be contrary to the spirit or intent of the action taken to create the combined position if it were used in situations where there is work over and above that which can be performed by incumbents of full-time Maintenance Control Clerks and Tool and Parts Clerk positions on a tour, but an insufficient amount of such work to warrant establishing either or both of these positions on a full-time basis.
