PTF step increase

Well-known member
The ADR told the PTF in my office that they will not maintain their step increase upon going regular.

Is that correct??? Why have 12 steps up to $27/hr only to be told to start back at $19/hr again as a reward for going regular?
 
Morty et al -- "The ADR told the PTF in my office that they will not maintain their step increase upon going regular."

-- Let's return to yesteryear and the 03 JUL 2012 Clarke "award":

Oh, yes -- happy 7th anniversary to you Mr. Clarke.

- RCA's on the rolls before 07 AUG 1991, who are appointed to PTF carriers under Article 30.2.A.3. will begin a career appointment at Step C ( Table ONE).

- RCA's who were hired between 07 AUG 1991 and 20 NOV 2010 and served continuously thereafter, who are appointed to PTF carrier under Article 30.2.A.3. will begin a career appointment at Step A ( Table ONE ).

- RCA's hired on or after 21 NOV 2010 who are appointed to PTF under Article 30.2.A.3. will begin career appointment at Step 1 ( Table TWO ).

IF there are any [ remaining ] substitute rural carriers who are appointed to PTF under Article 30.2.A.3. will begin a career appointment at Step 8 or their existing step ( Table ONE ), which ever is LOWER, provided, however, that substitutes serving in excess of ninety ( 90 ) days on a vacant route at the time of appointment will maintain ther existing step.


-- Looks like the 2015-2018 stayed with those parameters.
 
Likewise in ELM, Chapter 4.

Just as "quisling" became a byword for "collaborator"... for Rurals, "clarke" has become a byword for "arbitrator".

-- Maybe "traitor" would be more apropriate.

The ADR was mistaken. Article 9.1.B.5 states “ Part-time flexible carriers will be appointed to regular carrier status at their attained step.”
 

PTF pay is based on hire date like RCA'S. FYI They have a yearly timed run up the STEPS of the Empire State Building.
