I guess I just need to get on the delusional train with some others here... sure, they'll give us bigger raises than NALC & APWU... and it's all because the NRLCA is so much better of a union... we'll be indebted to their great negotiating skills... lol...Knowing usps they would offer the 25k for rcas to resign before giving regs It. then I could use your favorite saying DB.
There were a few more " when required to work " conditions in the new contract. Things like giving us the ability to be mandated to work a holiday. And adding the annual day to the option to decrease your pay. Or the bypassing the rdwl at mgmt whim to force some poor rca in from another office. I can definitely see that negatively affecting my office. I don't care about the rdwl money, but forcing our rcas to crappy understaffed offices will make them reevaluate working here. Some have been forced already to carry city routes at night in unfamiliar cities. They all said they would quit if that is the future.Which one's????
We have about 250 routes between 5 offices. We have a combined rca complement of 43. It's not pretty.Yeah, as mentioned by @martian ... the new rule is about AL... don't think it should impact SL...
I usually put in the leave slips the week before my appointments, even tho I know about them months ahead of time....
Which one's????
I think it should be put in writing that in the event RRECS fails in any way, we immediately revert back to being paid what our salary was before RRECS kicked in until they get it fixed., with a mail count if they so choose., if route data disappears especially. Some type of guarantee that's good. #2 The wording 'Reg Carriers REQUIRED to work their holiday' needs to go by-by. There should be no requiring a REG to work their holiday, a benefit already negotiated. #3 Where is the compensation for all the extra scanning we'll be doing? Plus 10% for the delays on the scanner. Why should that be done for free when we'll already be losing. #4 I want a video shown to us how it's possible to case a full tray of DPS in 5 minutes. Prove it to us, i want to see it. Because that is just simply wrong. How is that being paid fairly? Old mail counts gave all MMM and any mail you couldn't deliver that day credit in the raw letters to, because of handling it twice. Like holds, box down, box blocked. There's a lot of little things we're losing credit for here, so shouldn't we at least be paid fairly for the casing of the DPS?
Would the 25+ PTF positions help between those offices potentially?
yup.
It's unknown. We have formula offices that had ptf positions but those original ptfs went career or quit. No additional ones had been required to maintain the formula status of an office. That is a change in the new contract. Anyone who works in a formula office knows they suck. You can't get 2 days off in a row, the rcas can actually work more hours than a PTF, the holiday scheduling is a nightmare and mgmt becomes a revolving door because it's hard to manage a constantly short office. Which ends up in zero paychecks, frequently because of poor mgmt skills. Then the new hires quit because they can't get paid. It's a never ending nightmare. I would happily vote yes if they simply put in a procedure to remove an office from formula. Currently, none exits.
We see carriers being mandated to work their holidays all the time... it's cheaper to pay a holiday peep than a DACA 5 for working their relief day... js.... many of the things peeps complain about have already been happening for a long time now....
First time 7% inflation notice? Peanut President with Billy Beer.
When was the last time we saw 7% inflation?
As far as I'm concerned.... ain't no arbitrator gonna give us raises above what APWU & NALC got.... js.... let's be real...

New contract option for working your holiday is adding an annual day for future. What pays more? Working your holiday and getting a v code on top of the days pay or a simple annual day? It's a cost saving plan for USPSWe see carriers being mandated to work their holidays all the time... it's cheaper to pay a holiday peep than a DACA 5 for working their relief day... js.... many of the things peeps complain about have already been happening for a long time now....
But, isn't there still the option to be paid, or take a day of leave???
I totally disagree with this, as a carrier 2/3of the way down the totem pole I take offense actually.
If you’re not a jerk then it wasn’t about you.
You keep saying "us".As far as I'm concerned.... ain't no arbitrator gonna give us raises above what APWU & NALC got.... js.... let's be real...
Over the past ten years, I've made a lot of noise railing against Table 2, at times when many others were mostly silent.... so I've never been a fan of multi-tier pay scales... as it currently stands tho, any raises that benefit Table 1, will eventually benefit all, as everyone will eventually match Table 1 pay, so all raises to Table 1 raise your eventual top pay... so it's not true that it does not benefit you in any way.... imo... just another perspective...
That's an interesting observation... that they're tracking who's paying the dues (and voting) and throwing bones their way... likely is true that it's mostly Table 1ers ...
