Arbitrator Das concluded that the provision in the Global Settlement providing that "[a]ll time the supervisor or Postmaster spends staffing the window during the day will be counted towards the permissible bargaining unit work limits" applies to all time the supervisor or postmaster is covering the window, which, in the absence of a clerk, includes all time the window is open. He also concluded that the final paragraph of the Global Settlement is subject to an agreed exception for an office without a clerk that is downgraded under the DUO initiative on or after November 21, 2010 to level 13 or below.
