The scheduler has been in the system for maybe a year but offices are free to use their own methods if they prefer.
We lost any hope in the union helping us

can it be used in conjunction with other offices within a set distance IE 50 miles. Really has me curious honestly.
I have zero confidence in the union. Far too incestuous with USPS senior management to ever make any changes. They use members as pawns to give the PO a little bit of what they want, take just that little bit from carriers. PO management is totally "theory x, negative deterrent" and it's far too ingrained to ever shift. DeJoy tried at the outset and realized they'd cook him alive if he went forward -- the plants revolted and did massive slowdowns, screwed everything up they possibly could. Most management KNOWS that every employee is a potential criminal liar and cheater, and they won't allow the slightest bit of trust or they'll steal something. Employees have been treated this way for so long, they become reactive within the same methodology. Look at that new hire that comes from the private sector, they're amazed at the environment. Even most of our contract is adversarial to management, mostly because of their negative attitude toward members.
Good managers, like mine currently, who confides, says they harass, beat, chide, embarrass on telecons if he dares to try to use common sense or something besides threats and intimidation. Most offices violate our contract -- or refuse to allow work they'd have to pay over time for -- and a grievance eventually costs them a little, but they continue because they're rewarded by their bosses.

My PM shares everything he finds new within the system, that's how I discovered it. Might ask your union from an information standpoint if you have a decent relationship with them.
Well RCAs better buckle up. No more picking and choosing what routes you want to go. Better start studying offices within 50 miles.
This place is becoming more of a joke everyday.
You know what would make RCAs go to other places. More pay for working at other offices or some sort of benefit MAYBE LIKE PTO!!! OH WAIT DELAYED 6 WEEKS. Don't give them benefits but force them wherever and whenever off. What a joke.

I already loan myself out 3 days a week. After the last time I did our aux and got sent 46 miles one way to work up to 12 hrs. Home office can deal with any emergencies by themselves. No regs will put in 120 letter, management hasn’t even posted rca position in 3 months. Still sitting at 2 rcas for 10 routes peak season is coming. If I wasn’t senior rca I would transfer in a heart beat at this point.
edit: went above PM straight to poom to get the 3 days a week approved At other offices. local management played games, and I upped the ante they are not happy

See you worked like I did. I was RCA in one route office last year and change (going regular). I loaned myself out to 4-5 different offices in that time frame for extra pay since I knew when my guy took off. I have NO ISSUE VOLUNTEERING MYSELF FOR OTHER OFFICES ,but BEING FORCED IS WRONG without anything extra (pay or so on).
Sounds like a typical
show

This is most likely true. I wasn't even aware of the problem until I began reading the posts in this forum. So I asked the local union steward about it and she said it is happening our state, too.....just not our area.

With the ability (without success) of being able to create and hire for PTF positions the 120 day letter has no teeth anymore, not that it had many before.I already loan myself out 3 days a week.

fully understand that, but it would Show me the regs have a little bit of spine. Instead they listen to PM say they have tried and tried to get more rcas. One posting in the last 3 months for rca. 7 in the last 3 months for ARC, and no word on PTF positions.

Ah ha. Thank you. She is the USPS Director of Contract Administration that handles the NRLCA, hence the (NRLCA) next to her title. In this 2016 photo, with our team, they list her as USPS Contract Administration Manager.
Does everyone in your office do what you suggest?
I talked to city carriers in our office and they have less CCAs than we have subs, so it isnt just rural, either.
I will be surprised if they even abide by what this grievance settlement says.
Specifically - If an RCA works a cases and delivers a regular route they CANNOT be forced to do another office.
So if a runner RCA completes an H Route in 5 hours they are done for the day?
Wanna Bet that RCA can wipe their behind with this promise if the neighboring office is being run by a Postmaster or POOM?

While your office may be shorthanded on CCAs , keep in mind that there is only a certain percentage permitted by the contract between The NALC and the PO. So, depending upon the assignments of your regular and T6 and /or unassigned regular city carriers and how many there actually are, there is a cap on the number of CCAs by percentage.
Not the case here 2 CCAs posting every time they go down another goes up for my office. We did have 8 CCAs but 2 quit short bit go. Not enough hours for them to stick it out. So I know management can get positions posted they just won’t post rca.

Then that RCA should file a grievance. It’s a CONTRACT violation for mgmt to require a sub to go to another Office after completing their route. It is NOT a violation to be required to assist another route in the “Office” so if multiple DUs are in an “Office”, they can be sent there.

Assigned for the day, not actually assigned as “sub-of-record“ to multiple offices. The Contract does not allow that.
