Getting there....If I read correctly..The DAS says for those on the same tour...meaning if your both in at the same time they have to give it to the PTF...but what if they don't schedule you and schedule the CCA

gman, I would do what I had to do to make regular. Then you will get your 40 per week. You could be excessed however with low seniority, but if you are a PTF they would cut your hours to nothing before a regular is excessed

JB....DAS award, page 14, states that a PTF will be worked straight time hours prior to utilizing a CCA. it explains it more in detail. If they are not giving you your hours first, file a grievance

I currently work in an office as a PTF...We have 1 regular route and of course the auxiliary route which i run that is approximately 6 hrs...We are currently in the process of hiring a CCA...My question is...Can they work the CCA instead of me on the auxiliary route?

I understand what CCA's go through because I started off as a casual carrier making $8 an hour it is hard to bust your butt while regular carriers complain about not being able to do their route. That is a hard decision to walk away from the Post office but I wish you the best of luck.

The USPS is the only enviroment that rewards hard work with additional work! As a TE earning $22.15 an hour, the juice was worth the squeeze; long hours, worst routes with the addition of take offs that no regular carrier would carry, routes split up on rainy days that consisted of purely walking routes, lack of information or training from managers/supervisors, working 6 days a week, etc. Then, a new arbitration contract that gave a new title, CCA, with a 26% pay cut and the every thoughtful phrase, " do a great job and work harder and you will make regular." Took me several weeks to realize the false hope I had been told was a sham. The harder I worked, the faster I ran from mailbox to mailbox, the working without breaks or taking a lunch, delivery packages on the way home while off the clock, merely resulted in a heavier workload that provided zero benefit for myself and an easier day for any regular carrier who stated, " boss, i cant get my route done in 8 hours, i'm gonna need the CCA to take a 1/3 of my route." I'm not bashing all regular carriers, just the lazy slobs that poison the hard working, dedicated carriers. They know who they are. The United States Postal Service is a sinking ship! Supervisors/Managers make every effort to keep the regulars "happy" while over working the CCA's,(we are the help), but I find it ironic that the "help" is carrying a full route and a take off at a significant lower rate of pay, plus no benefits. My decision today to quit was very easy....I arrived on time, only to discover that my case was not ready and that I would have to finish sticking my route, plus a take off that was wheeled up to my case and gracefully awarded to me. BTW, my full route was 90% business that I ran one time with the supervisor, and he had to call another carrier for guidance. My take off was all business. I should have listened to the old timers when I first started and their advice to slow down, "the faster and harder you work, the more work you will be given". Farewell to the Post Office and The happiness i felt as I drove away and saw the station in my review mirror.

egark is correct, when you transfer your seniority starts all over, doesnt matter if you are a carrier or a T6 carrier

Hey tired, when I made regular, it took about two weeks for my PS50 to be posted, but it was dated correctly. Make sure your pay is correct, and hopefully it is effective before the Holiday coming up. CONGRATS Edited 05-22-2013 01:39 PM

tired of all this- Thanks for reply. I asked my Postmaster on thurs and she said that she talked to regional and they said everything was good. All the paperwork was fine. Good to know that i'm not the only one to not recieve a form 50. It's just that until I do, I won't trust anything they say. Been with this company too long to start trusting anything they say now!!

Good point egark. I forgot to clarify I'm going to a large carrier annex that has 2 vacancies right now, and 2 that should be coming up in the near future. I'm the first one in, so I should be safe from any excessing from 5 day, with others to follow. On a side note, to transfer and have to learn 5 routes in a new town just wouldn't be worth it to get regular in my opinion. You'll probably get a better opportunity by the end of the contract.

21yearptf- My supervisor was given a choice of dates to make me regular.He said the 18th and called personnel to make sure it was happening. I am being treated as a regular, first regular day off tomorrow!!!! No form 50 has shown up, but it is suppose to be in process. We called personnel and the one that is suppose to handle that is on/or was on vacation. Have your PM verify with a phone call that paperwork is being processed. Watch to make sure and how many hours you get paid if any as a PTF. They will eventually want the money back. Been there done that a couple of times. Good Luck
