Filling of Vacant Routes

 

In effect since January 1st, 2009, the new clause 12.03 of the collective agreement has been changed to allow RSMC members to apply for transfer when a route becomes vacant in a postal installation located within a 50 kilometre radius. The most senior qualified employee from among the RSMC who apply will be assigned to the postal installation and be subject to the process described in clause 12.04. However, the successful applicant will have to stay in that postal installation for at least two (2) years, unless Canada Post decides to waive this condition. .

“…This change comes about as a result of negotiation with your bargaining unit.” “…Effective April 30, 2009, RSMCs will paid on a bi-weekly basis.” “…It will mean that you are paid ‘in arrears’ for earnings from the previous two weeks.”

It should be noted that this also applies to on-call relief employees (OCRE).
