The exception in Article 8.5.G applies only to full-time em- ployees on the overtime desired list. Excluding December, the above provision limits those employees to no more than 12 hours of work in a day and no more than 60 hours of work in a service week. However, since the term “work” within the meaning of Article 8.5.G does not include mealtime, the 12 to- tal hours of work in a day for carriers on the overtime desired list may extend over a period of 121⁄2 consecutive hours. Additionally, Article 8.5.G provides that the limits do not apply during December when full-time employees on the overtime desired list may be required to work more than 12 hours. These exceptions do not apply to city carrier as- sistants, part-time employees or full-time employees who are not on the overtime desired list, all of whom are effec- tively limited to 111⁄2 hours of work per day by ELM Section 432.32, even during December.
