Union Wins Huge Arbitration For Clerks in Small Offices
excerpted from APWU Web News Article 037-2013

The union won a major arbitration victory on March 29, when Arbitrator Shyam Das issued a long-awaited decision that will affect Clerk Craft jobs in small post offices. The ruling settles a long-simmering dispute about the amount of bargaining unit work postmasters and supervisors may perform in Level 18-and-below offices.

Arbitrator Das upheld the union's position, ruling that an agreement between the union and management sets absolute limits on the number of hours postmasters may perform bargaining unit work (BUW) in small offices.

President Guffey praised the ruling. "We want to thank the officers and members who supported the union through this protracted fight," he said. "Many union officers and staffers assisted in researching, preparing and presenting this case. They did an outstanding job."

"This award sets the table for our challenge to POStPlan, which was another full frontal attack on our union and especially on clerks in small offices," he said. A hearing on that dispute is scheduled before Arbitrator Stephen B. Goldberg on April 16 and 17.
