Issue:
The issue to be decided in this grievance is whether management at the divisional level may dictate cleaning frequencies rather than local management as referenced in the MS-47 handbook. We contend that the MS-47 handbook requires the MSC Manager or BMC Manager to approve cleaning frequencies and custodial staffing documents.

Award Summary:
The grievance is resolved on the basis set forth in the above Findings. The Postal Service is directed to adhere to the requirements of the MS-47 Handbook consistent with those Findings.
