NALC has filed a national level grievance regarding former CCAs who have not received their back pay to date. The grievance covers approximately 6000 former CCAs who had been converted to career employees prior to August 7, 2017 and have not yet received back pay for time worked as a CCA during the back pay period. These employees previously received back pay for time worked as a career employee during the back pay period.
There is no dispute between NALC and USPS at the headquarters level that these employees are owed back pay. USPS has been unable to determine when these employees will receive the rest of their back pay. NALC has asked for additional compensation for the unreasonable delay.

How can the RCA’s get theirs???
The USPS management drags their feet every way possible when it comes to agreements with unions and the hundreds of thousands of employees who do all the work except scheduling hours and keeping track of time clock entries, for all intent and purposes. So naturally upper level management is trying to screw the former CCA’s because they are playing fast and loose with budget numbers and haven’t finished covering their criminal tracks. The other factor is that since they aren’t the benefactors, why be in a hurry to pay a bunch of low life labor personnel?
And who knows how long this national grievance will drag out? Long as possible to avoid compensating the workers who are rightfully entitled to the back pay. And I wouldn’t hold my breath for extra compensation for the delay.
