All auxiliary and vacant routes are counted every September or special counts
There is nothing scheduled contractually so it would be on your PM to initiate one.

well that will never happen if it’s up to hislazy ass.
There’s also a special count but your route would have to meet both qualifications specified in the contract.

Easy now,,
Just start requesting in writing and back up with documentation of parcels. I believe I am going to do this as well. Doesn’t mean I’ll get a count, but at least I did my part

The machine will count on a manipulated count to reinforce the dedrigation of rural carriers evaluation .just getting ready for new pay system. Union just needs some *#* moral support from USPS to drive it home. But what do I know.

Didn't union say they were trying to come up with something? ( count?)
They would probably agree to a special 2 week count in June, July or August.

A PM cannot initiate a Count. September Counts are ALWAYS either SPECIAL (where certain rules make a route eligible & determined by adistrict) OR NATIONAL (mandatory ALL routes nationwide).

All the union had to do,
Again.
ALL THE UNION HAD TO DO, was negotiate a fair time standard for parcels!!
We didn’t need rrecs bullshit or any other magical unicorn fairy mythical beast system.
THEY STILL, can redeem this by demanding parcel time is accredited fairly.
I sure the hell hope they are not allowing a national mail count in sept when mail volume has been so impacted by Covid19. Sure I have eight billion parcels a day but no mailers are mailing still.
literal union suicide.
Grrrrr!!!! ?

fyi.. our last national count in a september, was a national election year.. Obama won
From what I've seen with the contract, I took that there would be no mail counts until sometime after May 2021 unless USPS orders it. I could very easily be wrong, though.
At any rate, I remember the last count. It was rigged/manipulated, with the count ending, the route eval coming out, then Amazon showing up 10 days later. That experience leads me to believe that mail counts cannot be trusted to begin with. USPS doesn't have the money or manpower to do the job it has undertaken. It then resorts to exploiting the employees it does have to get this over-scale job completed.
