Questions and Answers—City Carrier Assistants (CCAs)
This jointly-developed question-and-answer document (M-01802) provides the mutual understanding of the national parties on issues related to city carrier assistants (CCAs)—the new classification of letter carrier created by the January 10, 2013, interest arbitration award that set the terms of the 2011-2016 National Agreement. The parties are still in discussions on several other issues concerning CCAs. This document will be updated when agreement is reached on other issues concerning CCAs.

    I am wondering if they can bid on routes, te’s were not allowed to.

    • D. Ternowski

      That would be great but it might go against what management wants in a CCA which is the ability to move them from office to office each day of the week depending on which office has open routes.

      • PTF-Mich

        Removing the PTF position and merging some of it’s characteristics with some of the TE concepts seems counter productive. I understand that there are some ups and downs to the CCA position, but the main hurt comes with the substantial hourly pay cut. The idea that they will be made regular when an unbid route is available is great, etc., but that huge drop in pay in the meantime is just insane. Ah well, I’m a PTF and got all excited when the arbitration ruling was released…now I’m kinda just waiting to see what happens when August comes around. In the meantime, the phone calls to our elected officials must still be made, and awareness be spread at the rallies.

      Yes they can that is the opting secti

        Actually, they can’t bid on routes, but they can hold down a route. Career employees always gets first crack at any vacancies if they’re not already in a position.

  • Brett

    what about annual leave, do they bid for bid annual and incidental leave or do they not count toward our percentages? As TE’s they were not counted toward our percentages.

  • befuddled one

    …based on the MOU “previous test” scores are valid for 6 years!!! How is that the UNION is not assisting TE’s which has been let go for not retaking the test!. Can someone shed some light on this issue?

  • Alex

    I would like to know how the transition from CCA to regular will occur? Will there be a list likewise the one when a PTF moves to regular, where as the seniority date would be a factor of importance.

  • Bobby

    The Union completely and utterly got their but kicked and ran during this contract negotiations. How can they sleep at night taking away so much money from the TE’s. What a joke the NALC is. They take a substantial amount of money from what I consider the hardest working and most efficient employees. On top of that they give themselves a raise. Fred Relondo you should step down and resign and let someone that is not a coward do a better job!

    What about Regular Carrier Transfers? Can a carrier transfer to a station if there is a carrier leaving or does the CCA get that position?
