The Arbitrator concludes, for the reasons set forth above, that the USPS acted appropriately, in accordance with the principles of the RI-399 guidelines and prior Jurisdictional Arbitration Awards and other relevant considerations insofar as it made the determination on the Mail Handlers as the Primary Craft for the positions on the USS, with the exception of the Scan Where You Band operation when present, that the claim by the American Postal Workers Union, with regard to the positions on the Universal Sorting System (USS), is denied inall respects.
