Hi. I'm having a hard time find M-38 section 621anywhere. Can you help me find what page it's on? Regarding management having to provide a calibrated measuring tool?
Are you a union member?
Go to the website, steward relations, USPS handbooks and manuals.
If not, go to knowledgebase of this site, put M-38 in search bar and download.
