Due to continued staffing challenges in rural delivery operations, the Postal Service and the NRLCA have signed the attached MOU regarding two temporary modifications to the USPS-NRLCA National Agreement. Beginning Saturday, September 2, 2023 and continuing through March 8, 2024, regular rural carriers may volunteer to work on Sunday to deliver packages and may also volunteer to provide service on rural routes other than their assigned routes in the office. Regular rural carriers will be compensated at the overtime rate for hours worked on Sunday and for hours performing service on routes other than their assigned routes.
UPDATE: NRLCA and USPS Sign MOU Allowing Regular Rural Carriers to Volunteer to Work on Sundays and Provide Assistance on other Rural Routes

The key word is volunteer. In some offices carriers are forced. That shit will stop once the Teamsters represent us.
The postmaster in my district won’t allow us to anyway. I actually have volunteered because of the shortage and to give the subs we have left a day off or helping to get them off the street before dark.
This needs to be changed to double time! How dare they…we need to be paid fairly and many offices BECAUSE of these MOU FORCE full time regulars and don’t hire knowing someone will just pick up the slack.
When a carrier is forced to help out on another route or forced to work on a Sunday, it should be quadruple time. This should be written into the MOU
