Q 1: Under what circumstances can a T-6 carrier
“bump” (displace) a PTF carrier that has opted
on a temporary vacancy (holddown)?
A:
Q 2: I changed my schedule for one day so that I
could work eight hours and still make it to a doctor’
s appointment. Management approved the
schedule change but then told me I had to work
overtime that day, making my schedule change
useless. Should they be able to do that?
A:
Q 3: Management told me that I must list my mail
volume in the “reasons” section of form 3996.
Is that true?
A:
Q 4: I requested a special route inspection
because my assignment is well over eight hours
work each day. Time data for the route showed
claimed that my work performance was not good
claimed that my work performance was not good
so they did not have to inspect the route. They
had never said a word before to me about any
supposed problems. Can they refuse to inspect
my route?
A:
Q 5: My supervisor approached me with a form
3996 that had been entirely filled out and
completed by management, including instructions
about what mail I was to take and how long I was
to work that day. However, I never requested this
form. I thought that a letter carrier was supposed
to initiate a form 3996. Was management right
when doing this?
