I don’t want to spend this space explaining why extra scans are not counted, so I’ll explain how each of you can check your scanner yourselves.
Tomorrow scan your first parcel delivered (at box or at door) then scan it again with the same delivery place. Hit escape then “d” . If your scanner says you have made 2 scans then, yes you could get “Flagged” for making excessive scans, but, if like my scanner, it shows one scan, you can NOT.
I believe I’ve tried every possible way to scan parcels and never have even been questioned about any of them.

Readers digest version:
February 19, 2022, to gain proficiency with the new scans.
March 12, 2022, a two-week survey will be conducted to determine the average weekly number of activity scans per route.
1. The first evaluation will be calculated utilizing volume data collected in the immediately preceding 52-week period (June 19, 2021 through June 17, 2022), activity scan data for one quarter (March 12 through June 17, 2022), along with a mini mail count conducted during the last two weeks of this 52-week period, ending June 17.
2. The second evaluation will be calculated 12 weeks later utilizing 52 weeks of volume data ending on September 9, 2022, activity scan data (March 12 through September 9, 2022), along with mini mail count data collected in the last two weeks of this 52-week period, ending September 9.
3. The third evaluation will be calculated 14 weeks later utilizing 52 weeks of volume data ending on December 16, 2022, activity scan data (March 12 through December 16, 2022), along with mini mail count data collected in the last two weeks of this 52-week period, ending December 16.
4. The final interim evaluation will be calculated utilizing the preceding 52 weeks of volume data ending on March 10, 2023, activity scan data for 52 weeks (March 12, 2022 through March 10, 2023), along with mini mail count data collected in the two weeks of the 52-week period, ending March 10.
5. All of the route evaluations will be effective at the beginning of the second full pay period following the completion of the data collection period.
Following the first year of quarterly evaluations, all rural routes will be evaluated every twenty-six (26) weeks utilizing the preceding fifty-two (52) weeks of volume and activity scan data, along with the mini mail count data.

So. I just read all of this last night. My question, perhaps for the zoom meeting/or you is :
If the contract goes to arbitration,does that change the dates for these evaluations.....?

Its my understanding the the RRECS is an MOU and is not part of the Contract ratification, its a done deal and will happen theoretically no matter how the vote goes!
From the Q&A!
19. If this Tentative Agreement is not ratified, will RRECS still be implemented?
A. Yes, both parties were mandated by the 2012 Clarke Interest Arbitration Award to implement this system.

That's a funny answer from the Q&A. Was that all that was mandated? Wasn't there a date involved?

My concern is that those interim evaluation dates will get changed if we go to arbitration: and losing heavy covid parcel volume...
Actually, they were mandated to come up with a more efficient, accurate eval system. Not necessarily what we ended up with. Or when.

Gawd only knows what we will lose in arbitration... we all heard the Ronmeister say history has shown, we lose in arbitration.... and this is from the guy who's gonna lead the arbitration "effort"... js... you don't wanna listen to ole DB, how about your head cheese....
Unfortunately, you are 100% correct about our leadership fearing arbitration. With such a big bogeyman to face, they never seem to prepare well for the event. And we really do need less fear and more proactive leadership and lawyers.Gawd only knows what we will lose in arbitration... we all heard the Ronmeister say history has shown, we lose in arbitration.... and this is from the guy who's gonna lead the arbitration "effort"... js... you don't wanna listen to ole DB, how about your head cheese....

seem? tell it like it is
Stutts' video message was quite telling. Saying COLA is a gift that keeps on giving is evidence he lacks basic economics understanding. COLAs are designed to maintain purchasing power. Adjustments are always after the fact, meaning the COLA only returns us to where we were 6 months ago. We lost purchasing power during those 6 months. Fortunately, inflation had been subdued over the years, making the impact relatively small. But times have changed.
And to say it keeps on giving is disingenuous at best. COLA only continues when we are under contract. COLA only 'keeps on giving' if you don't give away half of it during negotiation (like NRLCA did under the previous contract.)
His presentation was, in my opinion, poor. I felt all he did was read the power point presentation. We can read. A decent presenter uses the power point as an outline and fills in with background information. For example, he could have verbally disclosed the positions of USPS and NRLCA on any items that required compromise. Now that would have been informative.
The most telling of the shortcomings of the NRLCA is the fact that it failed to update the projected COLA. Stutts' task was to present the best case for the tentative agreement. Rather than use the updated December data, he restated the November figure that was released in early January. I am not much of a salesman, but I surely know that if I can update figures that benefit my stance, I will use the new numbers. In case NRLCA didn't know what the updated COLA numbers were, the NALC website has it available. When I see things like failing to update data, I think that person/organization lacks the drive to succeed.
On February 10 the full COLA will be known. Will NRLCA update its presentation?

I agree with what you're saying mostly... I think the Ronmeister is saying COLA adds to our base salaries, as opposed to something like a signing bonus, that does not... it's a simplistic view, but has some validity...
