Does the Regular Carrier get to chose which Regularly Scheduled Day Off (on their route) they want or does management decide it for them and the carrier has to accept/live with it?

Whichever Carrier wins the route & decides that they do not wish to have a Weekday Relief Day, they need only to put it in writing to the PM. I would get it date-stamped also for proof in case of a grievance. If mgmt refuses, file a grievance. Add in your written statement that because mgmt is refusing to allow a non-formula Office Carrier to revert back to their rightful Saturday Relief Day, you’d like to be paid 150% for having to work those Saturdays. Let your Steward know in case this, also, JIC. That could be used as leverage to force mgmt to abide by the contract.So you think if I bid and get that route PM will llet me change the day to a Sat or Mon instead of the middle of the week? Right now he is saying no

Only when the Carrier CHOOSES that Relief Day and it only allows the route to grow & be maintained at the higher hours. It doesn’t actually “give” extra hours.

Ahh ok, I guess that is why not many are jumping at the opportunity. Thanks for the explanation. Its kind of like the 55 age thing.

Correct. If the route already has that Relief Day at bidding, the “perks” do not transfer to the winning bidder.

53 to 55 Standard Hours. That would fall in the 44k to 46k range. The incentive is to be allowed to grow & stay in that range and not be adjusted below 53:00 hours.
