District Wide Posting

---

Due to continued staffing challenges in rural delivery  operations, the Postal Service and the NRLCA have signed the attached  MOU regarding two temporary modifications to the USPS-NRLCA National  Agreement. Beginning Saturday, August 24, 2024 and continuing through  Friday, February 21, 2025, regular rural carriers may volunteer to work  on Sunday to deliver packages and may also volunteer to provide service  on rural routes other than their assigned routes in the office. Regular  rural carriers will be compensated at the overtime rate for hours worked  on Sunday and for hours performing service on routes other than their  assigned routes.

Please understand—we are doing this for the benefit of our RCAs and  the overwhelming number of you that have requested we extend the MOU.

Regular rural carriers will not be required to work on Sunday or serve part of any other rural route. Regular rural carriers must volunteer to perform these additional services.

Prior to working volunteer regular rural carriers on Sundays or on other rural routes, management must comply with the scheduling provisions of the National Agreement, to include use of the Sunday/Holiday Parcel Delivery Work List.

We want to emphasize that this must be voluntary and if anyone is  forced to work, you should immediately contact your District  Representative.
