This podcast covers an excerpt from the National Agreement between the United States Postal Service and the National Association of Letter Carriers addresses discrimination and civil rights in the workplace. The agreement establishes joint committees on human rights to address concerns and develop affirmative action proposals. It outlines grievance procedures for employees to address alleged discrimination and provides guidance on the reasonable accommodation of deaf and hard-of-hearing employees. Furthermore, the text defines management's rights, including the right to manage operations, hire and discipline employees, and take necessary actions in emergencies. It emphasizes that these rights are subject to applicable laws, regulations, and contract provisions.
