Darn near impossible.

its a postal route?What's wrong with the route?
No, its rt 1 and it is like all the other routes in our cluster....at least 8.6 / 90 miles with 3 out of the 5 being 9.2 and over 100 miles. The packages are very heavy save for one route.Sounds like something that was built from the heaviest pickings cut from other routes maybe?
yesits a postal route?
Ahh, a mess. The Post Office is in arrogant denial that pay isn't the deciding factor for one to work overly hard and put up with employer BS at the same time.Nothing a couple hours working on the case wouldn't solve.
Still, the problem is the RCA position itself. See other statement about locl c store wages. Even BK is 14.00 to start and your biggest responsibility is to ask; "Would you like fries with that?"
Wow, but not surprised.Macungie PA just posted FOUR PTF positions - for one office. This is after Two were posted in May - both hires must have quit.
What's wrong is the lack of pay for the rca job! It's a bad situation on both coasts and high cost-of-living areas. NOT bad at all in the hinterlandsSounds like something that was built from the heaviest pickings cut from other routes maybe?

Yes, and mortgage or rent is the back breaker, not to mention taxes. Getting away from there to lower cost of living locales is easier said than done considering family and roots, but you shouldn't have to anyway and agree a geographic COLA is needed.What's wrong is the lack of pay for the rca job!

They are not lying..... after you become regular and you receive your bogus "what you really make pamphlet" which should really be re-named the worst case scenario for the USPS liability pamphlet bc this is what you could possibly cost us....postalhiringcenters.com

I'm thinking the entire district is short and the smaller rural offices outside the metros (Allentown, Phila) don't even have anyone to take over for the retiring Regulars. So they hire the PTFs to go regular in the small offices and then Use and Abuse them in the Large Urban POs where they can't find anyone willing to work for 17.78.
When chatting with my PM and mentioning the pay not being competitive enough for Allentown all she had to say was "Who would want to drive all the way down there and work...." - absolutely oblivious.
Confirmed.It’s going to get way worse
And someday we'll be that poor person...hmmm? 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
District management doesn't help the situation. Constantly issues edicts that violate the contract and lay more free work at the feet of the workers. Union needs to put a stop to it with district wide grievances.
Every little office shouldn't need to document times, etc, then file their own grievances ! (But that's what happened with satchels. It's why some offices still carry them for free.)
Confirmed.
