On September 30, rural letter carriers were notified of the latest changes to their weekly routes under the controversial new Rural Route Evaluated Compensation System (RRECS), which will go into effect October 7.
Unlike the first round of evaluations under RRECS, the route hour cuts and lost wages were not as drastic, signaling a correction from the RRECS algorithm. While some rural carriers saw continued losses, others recovered hours lost in previous evaluations. Jamie King, a 13-year rural letter carrier from Florida, told the Prospect, “I recovered about $6,000,” after initially losing $15,000 when RRECS began.
Be sure and thank the NRLCA for your new evaluation. Keep paying your Union dues as well. ????????
It’s sad that we have a union with no backbone to stand up for us and then they wanna threaten us with what we will lose if we decertify them. I mean, we have no gains by keeping them because they allow management to make all the shots as it is????
If you read the union contract the useless union has it set up that we can’t defend ourselves in any case we have to ho through them where we have no representation that’s communism at its finest
I would like some transparency. Where and how are they getting these figures
How much are they paying the people who are watching us?
How much did all this rrecs system and the GPS cost?
I want to see the spending numbers on all this When I asked the union I was informed that my questions didn’t pertaining to anything.
DECERTIFY THE UNION WE CAN DO MUCH BETTER ON OUR OWN
I don’t think so you can do much better with yourself!!!
Our union is doing the best as their can but I seen carriers been negligent for not updating the edit book , office time for them is like a run chance who will finish first and at the end of the day this build up to the route loss or gain. Carriers need to work on their scanning.
Andis I’m the only carrier in my office I keep up my edit book and do my scans that I need too. BUT jumping through all their hoops isn’t going to help those who lost pay or route time it just puts that carrier under a closer microscope. The point is they hired people to spy on us because management and our union doesn’t trust us to do our jobs.
And watch those who went up will get cut after the holidays. There out to cut the pay of those doing the job by hiring a bunch of people to watch us work and their making more in their made up job than we are
AT THE LEAST THE UNION REPRESENTATIVES CONTRACT AND ALL NEEDS A COMPLETE OVERHAUL AND UPDATED MOU’S would be good also
The one here I went down another hr. I was a 47+ Rt and have gone down 5 hrs yet I’m one of the last ones back to the office. Explain how that is. Another 42 k Rt is first out and back by about noon every day.
Is it a mounted route? Apt and business routes are still getting screwed
