RCA Pay Scale Change
- Thread starter lordhelmetk98
- Start date
Welcome to the Post Office. RCAs are the lowest of the low; basically, whale sh*t on the bottom of the ocean. I'm one of those who gets the $4 more an hour than you, but yet people in my office with less time, and and a lot less experience, are now regulars. All because I moved 3500 miles away to take care of my parents. It's not like I moved to the next town specifically to take a job away from another RCA!! Technically, I have 5+ years on them, yet I'm still an RCA. And they will always have seniority over me for the best routes when I do, if ever, become regular, even though I make more money per hour than they do. It's a postal thing. The union reps don't give a crap about the RCAs/next generation of Regulars.

Wow, talk about weird situations... so if you were hired before 2010... and will be on the Table 1 pay chart when you make Regular... then you'll be making more at Step 1 than all of the other Table 2 Regulars in your office will EVER make... even tho they're senior to you... DOH!?!? That's sort of ironic, and funny as well... as you said, it's a postal thing... it ain't sposed to make sense... <img title="Confused" alt="Confused" src="https://www.ruralmailtalk.ruralinfo.net/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/sf-confused.gif" />

I suppose at your own time and expense one could appeal to the National Labor Review Board, and aim somewhere at bad faith bargaining, and failure to adequately represent. But the terms and structure that would be clearest in concern aren’t unique in our organization nor to other industries, so unless you have some all star legal team and a particularly sympathetic review panel, I would not expect much traction. </blockquote>
I thought I had read that the UAW/Auto industry reversed the multi-tiered pay system?? <img title="Confused" alt="Confused" src="https://www.ruralmailtalk.ruralinfo.net/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/sf-confused.gif" />
All I can say is, they should be glad that I'm not on the short end of the 2-tiered pay system the USPS has got going on... I'd be pitching a fit to everybody who would listen, and half of those that wouldn't... they'd be REAL tired of me... <img title="Yell" alt="Yell" src="https://www.ruralmailtalk.ruralinfo.net/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/sf-yell.gif" /><img title="Laugh" alt="Laugh" src="https://www.ruralmailtalk.ruralinfo.net/wp-content/sp-resources/forum-smileys/sf-laugh.gif" />
