  2. I am a j route, I was on vacation when I got called in to work because sub got sick (Wednesday and Friday}. Do I get extra pay for working during my vacation ?

  3. Did I dream this, or is there a contract article stating that carriers over age 55 receive priority when awarding parcel help during the Christmas period? I can’t find anything.

  4. What is the contractual rule about a regular being able to have their J day or their k day off? The regular only wants that day off because they have plans but are being told if they want to ensure that day off they have to take at a Jason today is that accurate?

  5. What are the rules of a regular carrier receiving help from an RCA and 204Bs because they cannot run their route by evaluated time? Isn’t there something in the contract that specifies once you go career, you do not receive help unless it’s during Christmas time?

  6. I’m a RCA and I’m being bullied because I wont cone in at 6am clerk and run my rt. 7 days a week
