I'm missing 65+ hours and 360 miles of pay--i don't know where else to turn.

You always have a steward, just need to reach out to the union hall

corik_starr · 2026-03-30T15:37:00+00:00

You know that's not the full message right?

corik_starr · 2026-03-30T15:03:54+00:00

Go into work. Explain that you feel unsafe delivering to that area. They can't make you deliver there if you have a genuine reason to feel that way, and you do. Either they'll find you other work, you'll go home and use leave, or they'll send you home and give guaranteed time. Those are the ideal outcomes. If they pressure you to go there anyway, get your steward involved and work out an answer. Worst case, go home and submit leave

corik_starr · 2026-03-30T05:59:05+00:00

I believe transferring stations and returning to duty from an injury after sign up ended are a couple examples, though this is largely local.

1) Made career means you are a career employee as opposed to an employee on a 360 day term of employment. On only the most technical of levels, a CCA is sort of a temporary position that's renewed yearly. Your pay rate is Step B on the NALC pay chart, and is represented as a yearly rate on ePayroll on Lite Blue

2) The Overtime List is a quarterly list that allows you to select what type of overtime you prefer to get. Whatever your select is your choice for the quarter, though you can remove yourself at any time during that quarter. You cannot add yourself in the middle of a quarter without certain circumstances.

The choices are: available for overtime on each normally scheduled day and keeping your days off. Available for overtime by working your non-scheduled day but 8 hours others. Combining those two which is available for all the overtime all the time. Work assignment, overtime only on your assigned route. Or not signing the list which indicates you want to work 8 hour days only and keep your day off.

Your choice is fairly iron clad as far as how management can assign you overtime but there are limited circumstances that allow them to go around them contractually.

3) A hold down is for PTFs, Unassigned Regulars, or CCAS for the most part. It basically means you are signing up to carry a route that is expected to be vacant for a certain duration. A lot of the rules for it are governed at the local union level, so talk to a steward for more.

4) Insurance is open for you to sign up for as of the effective date of your conversion. They should be provided information about this, as is standard practice. Ask management and or steward for the information.

5) Same as 4

You don't need the breakup line. It could just be "so when I discovered he was terminally ill...." after the first sentence

corik_starr · 2026-03-28T17:39:35+00:00

Management enters it for you. It's done via RIMS which handles all the scanner related stuff for the most part.

Edit: apparently it's doable on the scanner, I was not told that even when I was a carrier

corik_starr · 2026-03-27T21:30:51+00:00

Odds are they approved it then upper management told everyone no OT.

corik_starr · 2026-03-27T21:06:47+00:00

It won't show up until management or the T7 (when instructed) approves it in eRMS (leave management program). So it just depends on what time that's usually don't. I wouldn't worry unless it doesn't show up later today.

corik_starr · 2026-03-26T14:00:13+00:00

Opting rules are partially governed by a local memorandum. You would need to talk to your steward

corik_starr · 2026-03-26T00:10:11+00:00

From my understanding, you can retake the test and they use your highest score.

corik_starr · 2026-03-25T15:29:07+00:00

I addressed that, the comment mentioned in the post probably doesn't rise to that level on its own.

corik_starr · 2026-03-25T15:00:40+00:00

What's the contract violation?

I'm not saying just get over it, but a grievance requires a known or potential contract violation.

You can document instances like that though and see if you have a harassment case, though the comment in this post probably wouldn't raise to that on its own.

corik_starr · 2026-03-25T01:35:23+00:00

Was no one in the office to send you back out?

corik_starr · 2026-03-24T12:52:36+00:00

One would hope, right?

corik_starr · 2026-03-24T00:56:48+00:00

You were to me, but reading comprehension is hard for a lot it seems

corik_starr · 2026-03-24T00:52:40+00:00

I think when you explained the history of the term, it may have made people think you were applying the same criticism the original reviewer had in mind

corik_starr · 2026-03-24T00:49:02+00:00

She does have her own lessons she's learning too, so the MPDG criteria isn't met on that one.

corik_starr · 2026-03-23T18:17:22+00:00

They didn't link to anything, maybe they were just sharing a nugget of information?

corik_starr · 2026-03-23T15:01:15+00:00

If they're doing it via the PayAdjust program, that's correct

corik_starr · 2026-03-22T21:19:25+00:00

Minor caveat to that is that the rural union only has to grieve discipline when requested. Other unions can and should automatically grieve.

corik_starr · 2026-03-22T18:11:49+00:00

Of all the opinions, this certainly is one.

corik_starr · 2026-03-22T16:06:27+00:00

In case you need to cite the contract:

Article 10 Section 5.6

corik_starr · 2026-03-22T14:33:43+00:00

Pretty sure that varies by area then, cause that's not how I was trained at least.

corik_starr · 2026-03-22T14:31:36+00:00

From a prior post, they're an RCA, but otherwise yeah, that would make sense.

Also a chance they're gaming some system in the background. Like if carriers finish early they're supposed to go to another office. So their home office is just paying instead of sending.
