Quantity dps

Update!!!!!!! I guess the Pm threw in the towel and I went up 2 hours!!

Way to go Jess !!!! Keep in mind, you did not really go up two hours but went DOWN two hours because of DPS. Anyway, I know you were getting frustrated and with all the input that meant well, it was probably confusing to absorb everything. What I suggest you do is this ; take your most recent count numbers and plug them into one of the many fantastic calculators provided by our own FROZEN TOES and put the DPS from last count into the sector segment column. Put all the other numbers where they are suppose to go and see what you come up with. They "may" be using these DPS numbers from the review to base your "gain" and that's NOT how it works. Even if you received less DPS during count, which I doubt, it needs to be done properly. Again, congratulations and now you know how it works. Keep doing reviews EVERY time they count you !!

Have your grievance form ready for discussion with PM. Use it as your grievance discussion.

After he explains what he did, state calmly that you believe it is contractual violation and why.
Ask him to revert your DPS to sector segment pay.

When he declines, ask him if he would care to sign the grievance form.
(If he doesn't sign, just note that in your carrier's statement page you include with the grievance.)
Caution:
My lazy supervisor tried to spike my last grievance several ways. First, he took the grievance form and did not return it to me for several days. So, from now on, I have a copy of that page, so I can still file while he is sitting on his hands. (When he finally gave me his signed copy, my grievance had already been filed for days.)

Be prepared and organized.
Because PM has violated the contract you should not be required to review again.
Make sure the union rep knows you want your sector segment pay now, not another review by a corrupt PM.
State in the grievant's statement what remedy is required.

Before I left for work, I didn't have time to fill out the grievance form but I did print one out.

This afternoon, we discussed how he came to the 97%. I then took out of my notebook the page that gave the directions for the review and I pointed to #5. At that moment he asked to see my notes and I refused. On the very first day of the review I informed him that this was supposed to be conducted just like a mail count and he said no, it wasn't. He decided NOT to write down my information on this review and yet he wants my notes?? I then asked for my DPS to be reverted to sector segment pay and he said he had no idea what I was talking about. I'm really finding that hard to believe since he's worked for the PO for over 30 years. Tomorrow morning, I will be handing in my grievance form.

The ADR called me back this afternoon too. She didn't have much to say other than what all to include in my notes to her. I didn't get the feeling she understood what I was talking about, just like the last time I spoke with her about this.

Tell her to contact Joey Johnson. He understands how it works.

When he went back to his route, it was an H.

Now it's a J.

Gotta know the rules to win the game.

And it's a long game. I know you are tired. Don't. give. up.

It's what they want.

You are doing great!!!!

I don't believe your PM doesn't understand, but that's a moot point.

Now your ADR needs to step up and do her due diligence.
(If not, there are remedies for that, too.)

When do you a dps review and it fails. Your converted sector segment.. got that. What about when you get a tray of raw? Do you still get paid or no. I’m assuming no.. but just asking!

It’s been 2 weeks since I filed a grievance over my quantity review and it’s been nothing but crickets since. I did call the DR last Thursday to ask if she had received the grievance and she said yes. After a moment of silence, I then asked when she may know something about a outcome for this and she said she’ll have to get with the PM and discuss it, she’ll call and let me know. Should I be concerned that I haven’t heard anything yet? How long do these things typically take to get settled?

union has 14 days.. My count came back at a 46k (He had someone else run the numbers, previously it was 44k) I am currently a 42K Im suppose to get backpay from Aug 14 -- We will see. The problem is: after they did it wrong and it failed. They can say it's fixed.. then you have to redo it again. I think my PM didn't want to go to bat with me over it. I'm pretty savage.. lol
