Q06C-4Q-C 10005587 GLOBAL SETTLEMENT

The parties agree that grievance Q06C-4Q-C 10005587 will

be resolved effective with the signing of this settlement. The
parties further understand that any cases held in abeyance
pending the outcome of this case will be affected by this
settlement. Those cases will be returned to the level they
were held for further processing.

As a result of this settlement, in offices under 100 bargaining

unit employees, postmasters and supervisors may only
perform bargaining unit work in accordance with Article
1.6.A and when listed in their position description in
accordance with the following:

In level 18 offices, the Postmaster is permitted to perform

no more than fifteen (15) hours of bargaining unit per week.
There will be no PMR usage in level 18 offices.

In level 16 offices, the Postmaster is permitted to perform no

more than twenty-five (25) hours of bargaining unit work
per week. There will be no PMR usage level 16 offices.

In level 15 offices, the Postmaster is permitted to perform

no more than twenty-five hours of bargaining unit work per
week. There will be no PMR usage in level 15 offices.

In the event there is a second supervisor in any of these

offices, only one of the supervisory employees may perform
bargaining unit work as prescribed above (either the
Postmaster or the Supervisor).

Bargaining unit work performed by Postmasters or

supervisors should be consecutive hours to the extent
practicable, so as to minimize the necessity for split shifts
for clerk craft employees, whenever possible. All time the
supervisor or Postmaster spends staffing the window during
the day will be counted towards the permissible bargaining
unit work limits.

Post Office Assistant (POA) will be obsolete.

The Postal Service will report to the APWU, on a quarterly

basis, bargaining and non bargaining unit employee staffing
changes in Level 15 and below offices.

In accordance with the M-32, postmasters or supervisors

performing bargaining unit work will record what operation
they are performing either by time clock, PS Form 1260 or
other appropriate means. A copy of such documentation
shall be made available to the Union upon request.

Any office that is downgraded in level will remain at

the bargaining unit work standard that is in place at
the beginning of the Agreement through the life of that
contract.
