Step 4 Grievance Settlement on Waiting for Mail that Requires Casing Before Strapping Out
The issue in this grievance concerns waiting for any mail due to late arriving transportation which may or may not include DPS letter mail. The parties agree that when a rural carrier is required to wait for mail due to late arriving transportation that may or may not include DPS letter mail, appropriate compensation will be provided. Waiting time will not begin until all rural carrier duties are completed, to the extent possible, including casing of all available mail that requires casing. Management will determine the compensation of auxiliary assistance equivalent to the waiting time, or by utilizing 8127 for regulars or 1314-A for leave replacements. This does not change the Frisco TX step 4, that addresses when ONLY DPS letter mail is late arriving and waiting time begins after all other duties are completed to include strapping out of all cased mail and is prepared to leave the office to effect delivery, which is re-affirmed in this Step 4.
