D.C. 20540 DATE: March 28, 1978 MATTER OF: National Council of Meat Graders, AFGE - Legality of Bargaining Proposals DIGEST: 1., Federal Labor Relations Council requests our ruling on the legality of a union-proposed bargaining agreeaient provision that would require Department of Agriculture to provide cooler coats and gloves as protective clothing for meat grader employees. If the Secretary of Agriculture or his designee determines that protective clothing is required to protect employres' health and safety, the Department may expend its appropriated funds for this purpose. Applicable law and regulations do not preclude negotiations on the determination. 2. Federal Labor Relations Council requests our ruling on the legality of a union-proposed bargaining agreement provision that would require Department of Agriculture to provide frocks as uniforms for meat grader employees. If the Secretary of Agriculture determines that these employees are required to wear frocks as uniforms, appropriated funds may be ex- pended for this purpose. Applicable law and regulations do not preclude negotiations on the determination. 3. Federal Labor Relations Council requests our ruling on a union-proposed bargaining agreement provision that requires Department of Agriculture to authorize portal-to-portal mileage allowances for meat grader employees who use their private vehicles in connection with their wark. The proposed provision is contrary to the general requirement that an employae must bear the expense of travel between his residence and his official head- quarters, absent special authority, and therefore, may not be properly included in an agreement. 1$N.
