Overburdened relief day after cutting/adjustment

[Thoven08]

Hiyas! I know that I have seen it published/printed about how not having a preferred primary relief day limits the cut status of a route. Does anyone have that information handy? I have searched for it but no luck yet. The reason I am asking is because my PM is going to tell me and another career that “because you picked Saturday as your primary relief day I can cut you to a 43k.” The issue is that my relief day is Tuesday and has been for 3 years now because the PM didn’t want to let us have Mondays off. I am trying to get all the information and guidelines I can before meeting with the PM.

There is this from Article 9.2.C.5 ;

The following actions will occur in the order pre-
sented until the required number of K routes with
relief days other than Saturday is reached:
(1) Any regular rural carrier assigned to a K route
with a Saturday relief day may elect to
permanently change the relief day to another
day (including Friday/Saturday rotating),
provided the new relief day will assist in
reaching the required number of routes with
relief days other than Saturday. Any rural
carrier that selects Tuesday, Wednesday, or
Thursday as the relief day will be given the
incentive of allowing the route’s evaluation to
increase to 53:00 to 55:00 standard hours
through normal growth and maintain such
evaluation for the duration the rural carrier is
assigned that route and that relief day. The
Employer will adjust these routes down to
53:00 to 55:00 standard hours when
adjustments are necessary. However,
adjustments may be made below 53:00 to
55:00 standard hours consistent with
contractual provisions and applicable
regulations. Bids for posted routes with
Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday relief days
and residual vacancies with Tuesday,
Wednesday, or Thursday relief days awarded
to part-time flexible rural carriers, substitutes,
or rural carrier associates, will not result in the
above incentive.
