[DB.Cooper]

Talk about... false advertising...

 

[blamethesub]

To be honest, I wouldn't want any of those three jobs. Maybe I'm just odd.

 

[Skierstmoritz]

Very understandable, it seems the rca gig has fallen into your undesirable job opportunity list in my area as well. Nobody even walks in the door anymore

 

[blamethesub]

I really feel for you. RCA pay is still pretty good money where I live. The vast majority of jobs around here get about $10 an hour. The higher cost of living areas really do make the RCA job a poor choice for many. Still, I'd rather deliver mail than wipe some old geezer's butt.

Anything to make ends meet?

Study materials available? This job ad is for someone that doesn't touch the mail...management. Maybe the exclusive online Training and Test Proctor for the new and improved 49 question Supervisor Exam.

? I was a Certified CNA

And yes, very gross and depressing to see the final state and neglect of once great people. And I never ever want to do or see that again

I ran into a UPS employee (resident) on the route the other day. We were talking Amazon, and the 2 tier pay system both places have to deal with. While lamenting the discord both have caused he sighed, "but we still get some kids that are just happy to make $21/hour".

When I told him I made $17, his jaw actually dropped, and eyes bulged. He hefted his Amazon box, "for doing this?" He was incredulous, standing there looking at me, my dusty, hot POV, etc. Just couldn't believe it.

RCA’s in about 5 years are going to be dam near non existent as new hires. My states minimum wage will be about $15.00.......nobody going too bother with the job.

Isn't the NRLCA supposed to find private industry comparisons to present during arbitration?

 

[Wilco183]

That's my understanding, and a guideline for the Arbitrator as well. Yet Clarke went rouge, and became smitten by the APWU's "fashionable" Agreement.

eunomios -- "Isn't the NRLCA supposed to find private industry comparisons to present during arbitration?"

-- Unfortunately the NRLCA is hard pressed to find a company in the private sector that potentially visits every household in the US every day.

-- Of course, the city side of the USPS does exactly that, but they are "off limits" for comparisons as the NRLCA has found out in the past.

Sounds like my MIC, (moron in charge), except this person has not "mastered" those skills.

The future is now. One of the routes in our office has been posted 8 times since October with no hires.

Darn near impossible.
