Is there any news about the union fighting the wage theft created with RRECs?

I wouldn't think any officer would publicly support the theft issue. they are hard core pushing how correct and itemized rrecs is to route. regardless of accuracy of data, training and attention to scanner input and the agreed to mou on frozen routes.
there are a myriad of issues they seem to be reticent about bringing up. probably because they believe it will make them look weak on past decisions. but, generally, that's how Rome failed. the inability address issues or review existing status...even when it is further eroding the carrier benefits and gains.

Sadly this is why I have ZERO FAITH in anything coming from all of this BS.

Our union was all about implement and fix later........ You DON'T IMPLEMENT SOMETHING THAT IS WRONG!!!!!!!! No one trust our union anymore because of this crap that has happen. I mean coverage factor has been proved to be bogus with people getting 10% coverage on some day. There's no way......

I mean I have never seen a union ok with a questionable pay system as this one.

🤣 I have eval of 8ish And working a 9ish or 10ish currently. I increased my daily time without paying you🤣
I am unfortunately succumbing to "the push" as of late. skipping standards and moving at an increased pace during heavy consistent volumes in order to see my husband in the evenings. I also want to eat a warm dinner at a reasonable hour. I suppose I might see a future increase in eval unless they drop a service parcel contract with our "delivery partner" during their low volume period. Maybe loose a weekly wss or put more wss in dps in order to wash this current high volume away with excessive low volume.
Should be interesting to see if the increase disappears over the stretch of the 52 weeks.

The point is. You have to show a CONSISTENT increase in order for it to matter. Dont cheat. it shows consistent deceptive intent over an extended period of time. Doesn't really seem like anyone gives a hoot how things get done though. 🤷‍♀️
I am not a fan of "the push" it is exhausting and not sustainable over long stretches of time. It also isnt safe in many ways. But hey lets push ourselves and show the standards are accurate and rrecs is itemized to the route so there is nothing that needs fighting for.

I’ve never heard of a route paying 9.5 which would be a 47.5K. If you were in my district you would be cut to 8.6 and frozen for a year if over 9.2 so what good would it do? Be careful with aggressive scanner action it can burn you.

It is not hard if you have the volume and a route that pairs well with rrecs. Rrecs strictly favors to door actions via parcels, authorized dismounts, package pick ups the likes. Learning to be safe while on load and EoS, while doing every action you can. Keeping up on edit book, mapping, webez is absolutely crucial. Rrecs does not pair well with routes without many to door actions.

What is webez? I have never heard of that term associated with my job.

It is the online version of our edit book. It cuts out having to send edit books to get done by district for most changes. Management are required in my area to know it and make changes we ask for. Means no longer waiting days or weeks to get new addresses added. I still send edit book monthly, verify ams did the job they were supposed to. If not I ask to have webez checked daily till they do. It’s amazing how quickly things get done when you become a thorn 😂. FYI every request creates a paper trail via email.
 
that's the ironic thing about the union, they spout how these new engineering standards are the best...and in the next breath, point out how incorrect the data collection really is. it's like they have a split personality.
I think it’s called flip flopping or at best riding the fence. Pick a side…is you is or is you ain’t my advocate?

Data integrity (accurate numbers for every facet of evalution) is an issue that can't be solved. The investment it requires to establish an accurate database that's accessible and viewable to different disciplines (craft/union, executive, manufacturing, logistics etc) is far beyond anything that could be purchased and installed due to cost. The Post Office has neglected data and sources for decades and the catch up is beyond their reach.

Maybe the best "solution" is to expand the 19% to 99% :cool: :cool:

In today's world, my view is our union is given a percentage reduction in costs, and the union truly tries to find the least impactful way to spread that pain. Since they have no leverage (cannot strike) they pretty much have to do what PMG and staff dictates. They can make their case but they must accept the final decision.

I along with two other carriers at my office filled out the two week coverage factor worksheet. On average the coverage factor percentage was off by about 5% for my route. This means my route is missing about 6 daily minutes (36 minutes a week).

CBU heavy routes get shafted because there is no way for the system to properly credit them coverage for boxes where the only mail coverage came from their hotcase. (I'm sure I'm missing 3-6 minutes a week here because of this)

Lord can only guess how much time theft will be uncovered by the WSH step 4 on top of all that.

Sometime last year one of the updates they did to the scanner resulted in parcels showing up with wild house numbers that don't exist. Some days there are one or more on each street. The postage is valid, the recipient is known, etc. The scanner just hallucinates a number. So my question is how am I being credited for this parcel? because this could be a whole other can of worms that could have rippling repercussions because it would affect multiple facets of our evals.

So yea there def needs to be some kind of an "adjustment factor" added in for stuff like this because while it may only amount to lets say an hour a week for me who knows how bad others are being shafted.
 
yeah dont knock the messanger , i also took a 2 hour rt to 4.5 hrs a day. as well as my own form 8hrs a day to 9.5 hrs a day. you all are the ones complaining about the system.

People can complain about the system too. Both can be true. It can be the carrier's fault, but it also 100% can be the system. System is still messed up.

There are routes like mine where I am LITERALLY doing everything I can to maximize it yet I keep losing except this count (PM messed up count and I got credit for lot more than I should have). I guess I can walk even slower than slower walk I do now on load time & EoS.

Load time, end of shift time and parcels to the door are about the only things you can do to help your self out. Also, do not forget any boxholder or wss mailings.
