Question about original RRECS mandate.

In the original Arbitrator ruling to conduct a engineer study, did it mandate 52 week volume tracking for implementation?

I'm just wondering if RRECS standards could be used for traditional style mail counts with the updated numbers in some hybrid system.

wouldnt it be great if we actually got paid for a yearly average? rrecs updates the system every day, and once a year you would get an updated evaluation? And you were allowed to see your routes moving average whenever you wanted?

That's me front row right when the arbitraitor decided to have usps do rrecs.......

I am confident the arbitrator specified nothing other than to retire the current pay method because outdated and inappropriate. Engineering something to replace it was by discretionary decision of the parties.

In reality the arbitrator could have exampled hourly as appropriate, but did not mandate it so the parties deemphasized it.

I know someone posted the original ruling in the past but I couldn't find it and truthfully I haven't read it.

I attached it to this message. And here is a link for all the lurkers (couldn't find it in the knowledgebase with a quick search).

Really should read the whole thing. Worth it to see Clarke admit that correlation is *not* causation, then proceed to completely ignore this fact...

But the relevant parts to RRECS, or what was to become RRECS:
Clarke's decision for a study (roughly page 10 - 12)
Johnson's dissent (page 24)
MOU for time standards project (page 36)

I don't think that by "retire" the current pay system, he meant to wait until it was 67 years old.
