TakeNoCrap /m66103 I have seen lists generated at different times show one carrier above another but that 3 digit subset identifies the senority of those hired on the same date. I was the middle of 3 hired the same day and 001 quit. I am 002 and the other carrier is 003.

Five working days before the start of the count, management must post a notice giving the schedule of the count week and the day and date of inspection (M-39 Section 215.1, M-41 Section 913). If the inspections start Saturday, the schedule should have been posted by Monday, right? It wasn't. There has been a note posted which week the inspections were to begin and which routes were excluded (already went through route inspections a month earlier).

The issue in this case is whether management violated the National Agreement by excluding from the leave chart those carriers whose routes are scheduled for count and inspection during the week selected.
During our discussions, we mutually agreed that:
1) All advance commitments for granting annual leave must be honored except in serious emergency situations.
2) Management may block out vacation time in order to perform route inspections, provided that the dates in question are blocked out prior to vacation selection.
3) When management blocks out vacation time, an equivalent number of additional slots must immediately be made available for vacation selection. Unless the local union agrees otherwise, the slots will be added to the number of slots required by the Local Memorandum during the 30 day period immediately before or after the dates of the inspection.

When 2 carriers on the same swing switched their NS day, the floater was displaced. There was also a vacant route within the swing. Shall the floater have the right to choose one? Any reference?

/m66116, you posted "... they could have blocked off the annual leave slots but would have then had to provide extra slots after the week of inspection." How could they do that. Isn't the leave calender negotiated in the LMU, thus set in stone?

Bosley /m66115 I would grieve it immediately. Interview mgt as to why they're doing it. Get them to admit they're doing it in the interview. I would request steward time NOW. Ask them when it was determined that they would do rte inspections. If they had determined before annual leave bidding that they'd do rte inspections then they could have blocked off the annual leave slots but would have then had to provide extra slots after the week of inspection. If they decided after the bidding was over then they're not allowed to cancel the leave so they could use the replacement carriers. Personally, I wouldn't care too much if my rte was adjusted to another carrier. Mgt would never be able to hold me to the evaluated times from that carrier. It makes the rte inspection on that rte a total waste.
If mgt hasn't done a unit review then grieve that as well. If you have rte's that have abbreviated delivery, lots of businesses closed on Saturday, then grieve if mgt doesn't throw out the Saturday. Did mgt do dry runs with the carriers?? Grieve that as well. Did mgt post earlier start times so carriers can count their mail?? Another grievance. Read the rte protection manuals on the NALC's website. They list everything mgt is supposed to grieve if they don't do it.

kameleon_o /m66105 Would you grieve the carrier work issue before the route inspections begin or grieve it after the route inspections are completed? We have three carriers off that week, too, and it was posted that replacement carriers will be used. Shouldn't management have known in advance of the vacation planning period to block those weeks out on the calendar? I don't even think management has done a unit review w/ our president prior to all of this starting. I almost prefer to have someone follow me or drive w/ me, it makes me think about every piece, every delivery, every time. Best advice I ever received is to deliver the mail as if someone is riding with you, every day. I'm not worried but I do hope it rains. Not for me, but for them to enjoy a spring shower or two.

NewSteward /m66109 -- we win every grievance on failure to call. How? Management is required to provide EVERYTHING you need to do the job. This includes a phone. Make the grievance resolution that the carrier be provided with a phone. That he has one and is willing to use it is irrelevant, the contract is the contract.

the minor offense is that mgmt told the carrier to call him if he would be working past 7:30pm. the carrier forgot to call so now mgmt gave him a letter of warning for not following instructions.
