I am in agreement with some that the standards and the way the data is collected would be devastating for most if not all rural routes. Even routes with massive amazon I can see would at best maybe remain what they are evaluated at now if not even go down further. The time you may recoup on parcels will be negated by the lower time standards on everything else. A wash would be the best outcome you could hope for.
But what in reality will happen the day we get results back and you are informed, for example that your 45K is now a 42H or lower. What if your 42J is now a 37H? Etc
What if your overburdened amazon 43K comes back still at 43K or lower, even with the tons of amazon you never got credit for?
You say I take my time when loading. I scan everything at the door. I stop at every mailbox, well I stop for a few seconds and throw mail in. But how do you prove all of these things because the scanner says you skipped half the boxes on your route cause you stopped for 3'seconds but you needed 5 to get credit. How are these times possible when I get more packages than ever in history? I thought rrecs was suppose to compensate me fairly????!!!!!!
So what really happens? What does the union do when everyone quits? Hell i won't have money to pay them after the massive hit anyway. Will routes get rebuilds to make up losses? But then you will be working a lot more for less. What about 2080 time when your route is 39H but it takes you 7 hours more a week? How will these times even be legally justified.
I just feel the union needs to grow a pair and fight this now in whatever legal capacity they can to have this thrown out. At least the evaluated mail count system DOES work in relative capacity. Honestly the easy solution for the amazon burdened routes are a push more mail counts more often. They have traded one thing for something 20x worse and they know it. If not you would hear more about it. What actions can we as carriers take now to prevent this slaughtering?
