• Maintenance work in stations and branches transitioning to Field Maintenance Operations (FMO) as a result of the MS-1/TL-6 will continue to be performed by employees currently
performing those duties until adjustments occur resulting from attrition. When attrition at the installation results in a staffing level below the authorized complement, management may determine the occupational group of the employee(s) that will continue to perform the work in the stations and branches.
• The parties agree that due to the transferring of maintenance work of stations and branches from plant maintenance to FMO, the FMO authorized staffing may increase in order to provide maintenance for the stations and branches. For FMO staffing increases that exceed the
available plant LDC 37 positions that were providing maintenance for the stations and
branches within the FMO coverage area, those positions shall be posted and filled under the FMO in accordance with Article 38 and the Joint Contract Interpretation Manual (JCIM).
• The Postal Service will publish the final versions of MS-1 TL 6 and MMOs on August 8, 2019.
