I am seriously considering filing a grievance for disparate treatment of RCAs in our office. Although I really like getting the hours, I'm fed up.
We have 5 RCAs in our APO/RMPO group to cover a total of 8 routes. We have 2 H routes, 3 J routes, and 3 K routes. One of our RCAs is allowed to be available only on Saturday. He's never required to cover his primary route on any other day. He's been with us just over a year, and he's only trained on 2 of the J routes.
We aren't an Amazon hub, but we are doing Sunday delivery (Amazon and ours) for the holiday season. Three of the RCAs are being required to work every Sunday. The other two RCAs are not even asked. Managements reasoning - the primary routes of the other two RCAs don't get any Sunday Amazon, and they don't know the other routes very well or at all.
In any other situation, knowing the routes or having been trained on the routes doesn't matter. I have other commitments on Sunday that I've had to cancel because I'm required to work.
And during the No-overtime period, Saturday-only RCA isn't required to come in and help, so the rest of us cover everything - coming in around 10, take 2 hours of this route, 2 hours of that route, 2 hours of the other route, and run these parcels - and BE BACK by 5.
