§ 16.i NA2022

MOU Task Force on Discipline

The parties agree to establish at the national level a "Task Force on Discipline." The Task Force shall have three (3) representatives of the Union and three (3) representatives of the USPS. The purpose of the Task Force shall be to study the manner in which discipline is administered by the USPS, the manner in which disputes about discipline are handled by the parties, and to recommend changes and improvements which can be made in the discipline and dispute resolution systems.
The Task Force is authorized, at its discretion, to conduct tests of alternative discipline and dispute resolution systems in various facilities.
The Task Force shall convene periodically but at least quarterly, at such times and at such places as it deems appropriate during the term of the 2022 National Agreement. No action or recommendations may be taken by the Task Force except by an agreement of the parties.
Nothing herein shall preclude any of the parties from exercising the rights which they may otherwise have.
