The Postal Service is delaying the implementation of a new pay system that would currently lead to many rural carriers seeing significant pay cuts.
The National Rural Letter Carriers Association announced last Friday it reached an agreement with USPS to postpone the new pay system, the Rural Route Evaluated Compensation System (RRECS).
Deputy Postmaster General Doug Tulino told the union in a memo Friday that USPS now plans to push the launch of RRECS from April 22 to May 6.
