This USPS Step 4 Decision outlines Management's position on whether management violated the National Agreement by issuing the January 4, 1985 sick calls policy. The union contended that the two-call requirements for unexpected illness/injury was contrary to the regulations contained in Part 513.332 of the ELM. It was the position of the Postal Service that the January 4, 1985 policy, as written, was unreasonable and therefore improper. Accordingly, the grievance was sustained and the said policy was to be rescinded.
