NRLCA Files National Step 4 Grievance on Whether Rural Carriers are Receiving the Correct Coverage Factor

[DB.Cooper]

As I have said before I'm now retired, so all the current BS about RRECS has no effect on me, but I'll tell you what its impact on my High 3 was Substantial!

They may have cost me some, but I went from a K to a J, so, my hours didn't change all that much... I guess they cost me on days off and the leave I took to compensate for that... but, working for the USPS, I could give you a LONG list of things like that where they screwed me in one way or another for 25+ years.... It's no wonder USPS is broke, they screw over their employees continuously, and so, every time those employees get the chance, they stick it to the USPS.... it's a vicious cycle...

I will come to the defense of the NRLCA for 1 specific item. RRECS had to be implemented due to arbitration award. ................................. the time factors for each item should have been used to do a traditional mail count and actually count for 3 months for the 1st count. Then go back to the way things were done before 1991 and count "boxholders" and "full coverage mailings- WSS addressed" for 2 weeks prior to the count period and after the count to assure mailers don't play games with the dates to avoid the period. ..................... this is the way it should have been done and should have been implemented before 2020 as the arbitrator thought would happen. USPS and NRLCA dragged it out due to the computer spitting numbers out ( and not verified) until parcels went from few to almost 80% coverage after Covid. NRLCA had to implement the system because carriers were doing 20 to 30 hours of work a week that was unpaid.

There no no way to defend this failure by nrlca. There own stewards and grievance specialists proved the breadcrumb issue to them 5 years ago. Nrlca refused to believe the data presented to them. They chose to believe usps over their own stewards who provided district and area proof by route.

Under the Rural Route Evaluation Dispute Process (RREDP), when the parties reach an impasse at the headquarters level, the dispute is referred to Step 4 of the grievance-arbitration procedure as an interpretive issue.
