So if your currently a Regular Carrier on in a POV office odds are you don't have a substitute carrier.
If you are one of the lucky few to have a substitute on your route, or any in your office at all, this contract will end that luxury.

RCAs - as far as them being required to go to other offices when "requested," there is apparently an MOU in the works on this matter. Mr. Pitts said (not a direct quote), "The union does not believe they can win in arbitration against this requirement." So, yes: RCAs will be required to go to other offices if told to do so. However, if an RCA is assigned to an "all LLV" office, they will not be required to have a POV "just in case" they are required at another office.
So if your RCA doesn't want to be the Red Headed Step Son of the RCA ranks they will look to transfer to an LLV office... No POV requirement... No being forced to other offices that are POV.
So what about the 1 or 2 RCA's stuck in a POV office?
Can they be forced to do 2 or 3 or 4 aux routes in multiple offices in a day?
Theoretically, as long as the total evaluations don't exceed 12 hours.
What about that driving time between offices? Oh no that doesn't count towards that 12 hours.
Well Clerks get paid for all hours even driving time if the go directly from one office to another, but our Union settled for half a loaf again.. Travel Mileage, but not travel time pay like other crafts.
On the MOU to study RCA retention, how about the NRLCA start representing RCA's effectively, you know, don't settle for far less than other crafts get, ALWAYS!!
Now how about the Regulars on POV Routes... How does 6 days a week 52 weeks a year and forced Sundays over Christmas Period Sound.
LOOKS LIKE THAT'S YOU FUTURE WITH THIS TURD OF A CONTRACT PROPOSAL
Oh and all you LLV offices... it won't be long before they start pulling those LLV's for City Routes, because their Union won't bend over and take it in the shorts.
But "OH NO THEY CAN'T DO THAT" yeah and they can't force RCA's to go to other offices... until they do!!!
