Information for Letter Carriers Who Have Received Excessing Notices
You may have recently received notification that your are going to be excessed from your installation or you may have heard some rumbling around the office about carriers being excessed to other installations. If a Postal Installation anticipates they are going to have too many Letter Carriers and may have to excess them to other installations, the employer is required by the terms of the National Agreement to give the Letter Carriers at least a 60 day advance notice. Carriers in the Los Angeles district are now receiving those notices. Similar notices have been sent to Letter Carriers in the Santa Ana and San Diego districts. Recently eight Letter Carriers from the Newport Beach, CA installation have been excessed to local offices in the surrounding area into withheld positions. The Union is going to make every effort to minimize any adverse impact on the excessed carriers. The Union is meeting with senior Postal management to make sure any excessing is done in accordance with the National Agreement. Not everyone who received a notice will be excessed. We believe that excessing should be kept to a minimum. Before the employer excesses employees to other installations the contract requires the employer to reduce the workhours of PTF to the extent possible. In the vast majority of our offices the PTF’s are working 40+ hours per week and the TE employees are working around 30+ hours per week. With the hours the PTF’s and TE’s are working excessing should be kept to a minimum at the very most.
