The USPS-NRLCA Joint Rural Contract Administration Manual (RCAM) is being posted on the Postal Service MyHR web page and the National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association (NRLCA) website. This documentation is designed as a resource for the administration of the National Agreement.
Jointly prepared by the NRLCA and the Postal Service, this manual provides a mutually agreed upon explanation on how the contract should be applied to the issues addressed in the document. When a dispute arises, the parties should first go to the RCAM to determine if the issue in dispute is addressed. If it is, the parties are required to resolve the dispute in accordance with the manual.
The RCAM is a “living document” and will be updated with additional material as we continue to narrow our differences and expand our joint understanding of the USPS/NRLCA National Agreement. We encourage all parties to use the RCAM to ensure contract compliance and to foster more professional working relationships.

Does it come with lube?
It has gotten so bad that they are removing scans at the end of the day mainly unscannable package ones. Now when they start with the BS I tell them I do not care just type it up and I will use it to wipe with.
Demand the RADAR report be posted daily. Grieve it if necessary.

Translation: It means whatever management wants it to mean.
Hold on, this is going to hurt.
I thought the same exact thing.. our union has no back bone but yet people continue to support them every payday
We should all withdraw from the union and revoke our dues authorization. If thousands of members leave at the same time, the union might actually grow a pair and start representing our interests.
I left the union this past fall. Never thought I’d be a scab, but here I am… I can’t support something that refuses to do their job and support us. I need that little extra money to support my family
I did leave the union told them deliver something for the employees and trash rrecs and I will come back. do not talk about it do it. you have to withdraw on your anniversary date they make it very hard to quit the union.
