Seniority/RCA

[Peaches129]

I work in a small office that is overseen
by a PM in another office. I've been the RCA for approximately 2 years. The other office has a RCA who has been there approximately 12 years. For the past year, the PM has been asking that RCA to come train at this PO when I'm not available, which she has been refusing (she has never trained). RC is retiring at the end of the year, and she (RCA whose had 12 yrs) informed me she has seniority and will get this job. Am I able to bid/ voice concerns about me as the RC? Thanks.

You're in an RMPO (remotely managed post office) your PM is head of the APO (area or associate post office) and your RMPO. All carriers in this situation have their seniority merged, so that does indeed mean that the RCA with 12 years seniority will get the route instead of you. Sorry, I know it's not what you wanted to hear but that's how it works.
