So, what would happen, if?

EEOC covers items different from contract. Usually harassment of some protected status or disparate treatment from others.

There are options for carriers who are working over 12 hours — and even for those who are simply working over their route evaluation.

1. Step 4 Grievance – Excessive Hours​

I recently won a Step 4 grievance regarding the exact issue being discussed here. Management had me working 13–15 hours a day on my route. I was a regular carrier on a 48K (66) evaluated route, and they were not providing any assistance or cutting the route. This went on for months. Every morning I would ask management, “Will there be any assistance for me today?” The answer was always no. Something didn’t feel right, so I contacted my local NRLCA representative. We worked together to build a case and filed a grievance. We won. I was paid hundreds of hours in back overtime.

2. Step 2 Grievance – 12-Hour Safety Issue​

I am currently waiting on the results of a Step 2 grievance. This grievance was filed after I returned to the office because I had already worked over 12 hours and determined that continuing to deliver would be unsafe for me and for others. I completed the route but refused to go back out for a second trip. Management charged me LWOP for the day. I am challenging that decision.

If something is happening to you and it doesn’t feel right, check the contract. Call your Union Representative. Ask questions here. Ask A.i. You may find that there is something you can do about it.

Don’t assume you just have to accept it — and don’t let anyone convince you to simply “wash it away” by calling EAP and forgetting about the issue. Know your rights and use them.

psycho-babbel drivel you've been producing....good job!
