The UNION proposed that "all uniformed staff be issued safety shoes."
The AGENCY refused to bargain over the issue, claiming the Union had waived its right to negotiate.
The PANEL declined to take jurisdiction, concluding that the Agency's waiver assertion was not frivolous and that "the Panel is not the appropriate forum for its resolution."
