MailTime -- "I have a 6 day Aux route about 3 1/2 hrs a day, just got told I have to head to a hub this Sunday to deliver amazon which doesn't even cover my town. (my town has no Sunday delivery). Add to that I'm told I will need to take a day off on my route to make up for that Sunday. "
-- For starters, how many RCA's and ARC's in your office?
-- Politely ( or other wise ) ask to see manglement's reference for taking a day off.
-- Guessing you did not sign up for the Volunteer List to work Sunday Delivery, but did sign the Non-Volunteer List. The office does have such lists, doesn't it?
-- As "gotstamps" noted, contact your Assistant District Representative and have him / her bring along the MOU for Sunday/Holiday Parcel Delivery Work List ( now Step 4 ( S-106)). While in the office, have the ADR ask to see the Office's Volunteer and Non-Volunteer Lists for Sunday parcel delivery per Article 30.2.P ( in part: The Employer WILL make every "reasonable" effort to AVOID requiring substitutes, RCA's, and RCR's NOT ON the list to work ). If manglement can't produce the list(s), grievance time.
-- In the mean time, get a hold of Step 4 ( S-106 ). Search for "Sunday" in RI's KNOWLEDGEBASE Section at the top of the page.
In part: If there is an insufficient number of leave replacements on the Volunteer List, manglement will schedule leave replacements from the Non-Volunteer List, also on a ROTATING BASIS.
-- On the down side, unless you are doing a lot of assistance on other routes in your office, your 3.5 day Aux route should not be nearing 40 hours for the week.
