Had a stand up talk yesterday. The city carriers were told that coming soon their scanners will have a scan to take a picture of parcel when delivering it. Only for the city carriers. But it may be coming our way. Anyone else?
It's only city because god forbid we have to pay rural carriers to do things. Let's keep cutting their pay
Missed a scan

How are they going to add the time?
Or will this just be another case of "it's built in" and the union will be hood with it?

Well, according to The Clarke Ruling which mandated RRECS , there is this in part(s) ;How are they going to add the time?
Or will this just be another case of "it's built in" and the union will be hood with it?
6. The parties agree that no standards changes shall be proposed prior to
the Chairperson’s final determination of the revised Evaluated Compensation System,
except that Article 34 may be utilized for any new work functions assigned to rural letter
carriers.
7. Thereafter, any future changes or additions to the time standards and
other components of the revised Evaluated Compensation System will be established
consistent with the processes established by the Chairperson in his final determination
with regard to the revised Evaluated Compensation System. The parties agree to
renegotiate the provisions of Article 34 so as to reflect the processes developed by the
Chairperson’s final determination and to provide that either party may call for a review of
one or more standards.
This is "the process established consistent with the processes established by the Chairperson" also from the same ruling ;
1. The Project will be headed by a three-member Panel. Each party will
appoint a member of its choosing, within 30 days of the date of the Opinion and Award
to which this Memorandum of Understanding is attached as Appendix B. These
individuals shall be professional industrial engineers with relevant experience in sound
industrial engineering principles and modern computer technology related to work
measurement and delivery route design. Within 60 days thereafter, those two Members
will select and engage the Chairperson, who shall be a professional Industrial Engineer
who possesses the same qualifications. In the event the two members are unable to
agree on a Chairperson, a neutral arbitrator who is a member of the National Academy
of Arbitrators will decide who will be the Chairperson.
Article 34 of The Nat'l Agreement which is also cited / referenced in the ruling has this ;
Section 9. Actions After Arbitrator’s Award
In the event the arbitrator rules that the national concepts
involved in the new work or time standards are not fair, reason-
able and equitable, such standards may not be implemented by
the Employer until they are modified to comply with the arbitra-
tor’s award. In the event the arbitrator rules that the national
concepts involved in the new work or time standards are fair,
reasonable and equitable, the Employer may implement such
standards in any installation. No further grievances concerning
the national concepts involved may be initiated.
Section 10 . Union Right to Conduct Study
After receipt of notification provided for in Section 5 of this Arti-
cle, the Union shall be permitted through qualified representa-
tives to make time or work studies. The Union shall notify the
Employer within ten (10) days of its intent to conduct such stud-
ies. The Union studies shall not exceed ninety (90) days from
the date of such notice, during which time the Employer agrees
to postpone live implementation. There shall be no disruption of
operations or of the work of employees due to the making of
such studies.
Upon request, the Union representative shall be permitted to
examine relevant available technical information, including final
data worksheets, that were used by the Employer in the estab-
lishment of the new or changed work or time standards. The
Employer is to be kept informed during the making of such
Union studies and, upon the Employer’s request, the Employer
shall be permitted to examine relevant available technical
information, including final data worksheets, relied upon by the
Union.
Of course, there is also this from Article 5 of The Nat'l Agreement ;
ARTICLE 5
PROHIBITION OF UNILATERAL ACTION
The Employer will not take any actions affecting wages, hours
and other terms and conditions of employment as defined in
Section 8(d) of the National Labor Relations Act which violate
the terms of this Agreement or are otherwise inconsistent with
its obligations under law.
This is what occurs when "we" ( union ) do not put an immediate halt to the incrementalism. There are / were the scanner prompts while on loading time and EOS time. That is TWO new tasks NOT accounted for in the final determination of RRECS. And to the best of my knowledge ( been retired two years ) , there was no time study performed on these two NEW tasks / functions. Now, there is the "take a pic" task looming. That would / will make THREE tasks that were not in existence in the final determination and implementation of RRECS. "They" will continue to add new tasks and duties , without compensation, not accounted for in RRECS until "we" put a stop to it.
