National Arbitrator Rules that the National Agreement Does Not Require the Postal Service to Provide Additional Compensation to Rural Letter Carriers for Increase in Parcels During COVID-19 Pandemic via NRLCA.org
On June 27, 2023, the parties’ National Arbitrator issued a decision in the “COVID-19 Parcels” case. While the Arbitrator appeared to agree with the Union on the merits of the case, she denied the grievance, holding that the National Agreement did not mandate the remedies that the NRLCA was seeking.
BOHICA!
The only time management follows the national agreement is when it’s to their advantage. They have been screwing us for years with Amazon.
That feeling is just the sand and ground glass that they added to the grease.
Think COVID parcels were bad? The UPS strike is coming and we will get to do a whole lot more free work.
Maybe we all call out with COVID the first week of August?
