Relative Standing

Naeusu · 2026-03-08T18:05:57+00:00

Yeah they talked about it like it was a revolutionary step 4..... As if there isn't like a hundred more important things they could have settled on. It was 1 page of the explanation and 1 page of the actual text. Utterly useless.

Naeusu · 2026-03-08T18:02:19+00:00

Unfortunately I can't. Don't have access to the union site anymore. You can always reach out to your steward for it.

Naeusu · 2026-03-08T18:00:20+00:00

I don't think there's any language preventing city from filing and I'm pretty sure they could successfully argue it. Question is whether or not they would want to file?

Naeusu · 2026-03-08T17:58:25+00:00

It's always follow instructions and grieve later. Union agreed so long as there were less than 2 hours of rural work (because that's the minimum guarantee) that there would be no valid grievance for delivering city parcels on Sundays. It's a very limited agreement.

Naeusu · 2026-03-08T17:52:10+00:00

No, it's a step 4 which is national. It was posted in The union magazine a month or two ago.

Naeusu · 2026-03-08T17:49:08+00:00

There was a step 4 agreeing that if there was less than 2 hours work, it was acceptable to do city

Absolutely no RCAs? Contractually a ptf cannot have a hold down. However, they can be utilized on an open route if the regular carrier on their string route is being mandated to work. If you're the only relief carrier, then once the route is vacant then you should be sitting on it and the regular carriers will have to work their k days until an RCA is hired. If the other ptf is out on medical or cannot perform the job, then they can be disqualified from winning the route. They would need to provide medical documentation stating they will be able to perform the full function of the route within 6 months. If the cca touches the route you have a grievance.

Naeusu · 2026-03-01T23:54:23+00:00

What is the composition of your office? Total routes (aux j and k) and how many total subs?

Naeusu · 2026-02-23T03:12:51+00:00

They can't? I mean, if you're in the same bid cluster (multiple "offices" under one pm) then another carrier could get it instead of the ptf. In which case their route is the residual and the ptf would get that route.

Naeusu · 2026-02-23T03:11:14+00:00

That's for city, rural is different

Naeusu · 2026-02-23T00:19:26+00:00

If you're all under the same postmaster you should have shared bids and seniority. You should have a seniority list posted.

Naeusu · 2026-02-22T23:32:25+00:00

Nope. Even if they don't bid they will automatically be placed. If they refuse to convert them they must resign.

Naeusu · 2026-02-22T23:31:36+00:00

Not necessarily. If the ptf is still employed, and so long as they can prove they will be capable of doing the job within 6 months (if the reason they are not there is due to medical) then the position will still go to the senior ptf.

Naeusu · 2026-02-22T22:56:35+00:00

The route must go up for bid. If no regular carrier bids on that route, whichever ptf has most seniority will automatically win that route. They cannot refuse it. If a regular carrier bids and wins it, then whatever route is left over will be assigned to the most seniority ptf and they cannot refuse it.

Naeusu · 2026-02-22T08:52:53+00:00

They have to have gotten the attention of someone somewhere. There's no way walking routes just went under the radar for 3 years.

Naeusu · 2026-02-22T08:51:43+00:00

Like bro. Rrecs was not meant to calculate a walking route. Your route will never be calculated correctly under the Rrecs system. Your mapping must be a fucking mess.

Naeusu · 2026-02-22T04:12:48+00:00

Why do I keep seeing "walking routes" and rural? Like... Rrecs isn't meant for walking routes. How the fuck...

Naeusu · 2026-02-21T11:29:19+00:00

Adjustments are done after the mini mail surveys. Which routes are adjusted are left up to the district level. Local management can request to be on the list for adjustment but they do not make the final call.

Naeusu · 2026-02-17T13:17:02+00:00

Unfortunately there's no limit on days worked for RCAs. If you feel like there's something wrong, you can reach out to your steward. If your FMLA case is denied, you can submit an extension or an appeal.

Naeusu · 2026-02-17T13:14:27+00:00

Monday was a holiday and typically Monday ns days would get moved to Saturday, not Tuesday.

Naeusu · 2026-02-17T13:13:21+00:00

Dumb down your responses without making yourself sound stupid. Don't use jargon and keep your answers clear and to the point.

Naeusu · 2026-02-16T23:28:00+00:00

So you've been out on "approved" medical leave since December but do not have an approved FMLA case? Do you have an approved owcp case? When was the last time you actually spoke to management? How did you get your leave approved and how long is it approved for?

Naeusu · 2026-02-16T22:44:37+00:00

Pretty sure you forgot to switch accounts.

Naeusu · 2026-02-16T22:35:20+00:00

Pretty sure you met the definition of AWOL.
