Does anybody know if you are a regular carrier working your route every day, can the PM mandate you to help on another route (when you have finished your 9 or 10 hours on your route?) Our new PM says that this is a way to get routes done because we are so short on subs. And can a CCA run a rural route?
Can we be mandated to work on other routes?

This was extended for volunteering to assist other routes.

I've seen regulars assist on other routes once during a blizzard the day after a Holiday, ccas, supervisors and station managers on other occasions. If a regular must assist other routes it would likely be a direct order/emergency only and it should be grieved. RCA's should be able to grieve all the above.
How are they planning on paying you? We are not city carriers. You need to contact a steward, ADR or DR promptly.

There is a certain time period that was agreed to and even extended for Regulars to work Sundays and be paid over time, but it is only if the Regular volunteers and for Sundays as far as I know. There is probably an article on the home page about it. I'd grieve it if they were making me back into a sub, I already did my time....
I see it's posted now....

To my knowledge, there is no way for a regular to be paid for working on any route other than their own. We do not work for free.
Therefore, only the one month period open to VOLUNTEERS working Sundays due to Covid was allowed.
In the past I've seen supervisors given rural routes to deliver after casing and loading. Only in extreme emergency.

The only thing I can add, which I doubt it helps is that they can do anything to anyone at anytime they want to! The end! If you don't like it to bad! If you know its not contractually correct tuff! You can file a grievance and if your lucky a few years later you may hear back that they have the right to manage the office as they see fit. Or you may hear back oh you won in the fact they can't do that but no money awarded cause you was already paid and heck by then you'll have your hands full of other things they are doing wrong! Or like me never hear anything back! I just cant get over the fact they are working you crazy and in my case taking me off the rdwl and using other regulars to work. Letting rcas put in leave slips, call out all the time then splitting rts and certain ones getting 60 or more hours a week, but i can't work what im signed up for? I say take your time be safe prepare your families and go for it and laugh all the way to the bank, because management has the right to mismanage!
Some of our non Amazon regulars are taking full advantage of the MOU and helping on other routes. Particularly the Auxiliary routes we can’t cover. They are filling out green cards and are paid at an overtime rate. I’ve worked a couple of Sunday’s and just used a green card and got paid at overtime rate.
Our PM MANDATES us all the time and the union has told him to stop. He doesnt fallow any of our contract and no one forces him.....until now. He is having to face the NLRB as an investigator was in our office today with the DR conducting interviews. Cant wait to see where this goes. And by the way he processed our pay as volunteer even though I wrote MANDATED on my 4240 so also......he falsified payroll.

I never said anything about you need time off too. What im saying is you don't earn leave first of all and you having time off when your only guaranteed 1 day a week says you have plenty of time off with 6 days a week. I cant help they may want you to work more than 1 day. I consider that blessed. So that said your time off shouldn't interfere with any regular carrier or when a rca calls out on their 1 day they are suspose to be there. Also i was a rca for 10 years I got 2 Saturdays off in that time. I worked any office i could to get hours. So I know all about hard work. Ive been a regular carrier since 2006 and have had to work six days a week since. We all work hard and need breaks but in the correct way is all im saying.
