Looking for a little info. regarding "sub 40" routes and the upcoming Mail Count in 2010. This is what I have been told:

After the next Mail Count your route evaluates to let's say 31 hours.

You will be paid 40H pay "up to" the end of the Guarantee period(end of October 2010).

After that- Your pay will revert back to "31 hour" pay until the next Guarantee, or Mail Count.

Looking for some "clarification" on this scenario or anything people may be able to help me with on this.

Thanks:)

/m21343 a Aux sub SHOULD NEVER not have a position to fall back to tho...they are not excessed..they just get whats left...and they are SUPPOSED to leave something for them to fall back too..thats my point..I want them aux subs to STOP AND LOOK at what that would be!!!

IM sure they wont get every aux route in every office..but they are going to get the ones they can...I live in PODUNK USA...and they got it here...is yours next? and NO!! i dont personally run one...im just trying to make people THINK about what will happen if yours is one they get!

   Surprise

   The Postal Service isnt going to pay a deacent wage in the near future, here below 40 hour FSS routes are told no building back up, your stuck with what you have aux routes gone, only area you will get rebuilt from, so find a bigger route or suck it up!

SUPERsub that applies to any route absorbed not only auxes. If every route has a sub ,the sub from the absorbed route is displaced there is no bumping in subs

For those of you serving AUx routes::::

Heres a warning you should heed!!!! Take a look around your office...if you have substandard routes....or lots of H or J routes...you better take a hard look at what would happen should they suddenly decide to reabsorb your Auxies!!!!!

What route is available for you to go back to if you have chosen the 6 day assignment? Are there openings on the matrix for you to take to make up some lost days? Just because they havent said they are lookin at the cost savings of keeping an Aux..DOES NOT mean they arent!!! Just cause your a SENIOR SUB...does not mean you will get your choice of things...if they take away the choice of the aux....ThINK ABOUT IT!!

For real, PT, no cell service. Area has been promising service since I came here several years ago. I get nervous sometimes when I am out on the route, very desolate and no service for the whole 90 miles. Is one of the reasons I broke down and bought the 08 jeep. Not that that guarantees anything but so far so good. If I was any good at math I would be able to figure out my new salary but alas, I stink at math. The only math I know is the multiplication table for 44cents. lol. I didn't realize until my pay stub came that I was due a step increase. And no letter came about that either. I think I usually get one of those "action" letters. I got my employee survey yesterday, I am debating whether to do it or not. I have always done it before.

WV, /m21339, I got mine yesterday, and it does not have the pay schedule, but it does have the EMA chart.. No cell service?? for real?? No way I could live without my cell phone.. lol

Hey, I just wanted to tell you that it is Wed. and I still don't have my November union magazine, I projected that I would get it today. When you live as far in the sticks as I do, I feel lucky to get any mail. We don't even have cell phone service arouond here. Maybe the magazine will get here this week. Is the new pay schedule in there?

/m21336 knew it was something like that..but the paper i got says 1.2%
LMAO..it was put out by they union....soooo....I had to look after you said 1.5%....

LOL mano..we will just rely on you for the numbers data...you a good man to have around!!

1) If we have DPS flat sorters
2) If the Postal Service goes to a 5 day work week.
3) If work hours are reduced anywhere near what the Postal Service estimates.

Will the Postal Service have the money to pay the remaining carriers a good wage?

If the above is true.

1) Should we try to get the surviving carriers a good wage in 2010 contract negotiations.
 
or

2) Should we try to get training for carriers with less seniority so that they may have a chance to find other jobs?

/m21330 & /m21316, the next salary increase is 1.5% and it takes effect on Nov 21. Just so we have the correct information here.

Oh, and the RCA hourly wage is already known:

Schedule 1 - $18.50
Schedule 2 - $22.02

rcaforever /m21330 Yes it is the evil postoffice, that is why we didn't get a cola for the last 3 times. Or, it could be our union. NO, anyways who can I blame next.

Older not Wiser /m21328

I think of the word "BOULWARISM" myself.

It was General Electrics labor program for about 20 years.

In General Electrics case they made a reasonable offer.

They then made an offer of "take it or leave it."

GE also made a campaign to show the employees that they were making a fair offer.

It was found to be an "UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICE".

thanks P.T. :))
