Step 4 Settlement on Disengaging Shoulder Belt When Delivering from a (RHD) Vehicle

This grievance concerns management requiring rural carriers to only disengage the shoulder belt when the vehicle is stopped and then must reengage the shoulder belt prior to moving the vehicle. The parties agree rural carriers are not expected to continually unfasten and fasten the shoulder belt when traveling between mailboxes in situations when the shoulder belt prevents their ability to deliver and collect mail. Rural carriers should consider safety conditions before making a determination to leave the shoulder belt disengaged.
