Background:
6X 18T-6X-C 21354335 Part-Time Regular (PTR) National Cap Violations in the Maintenance Craft
The parties agree that the following represents resolution of all outstanding remedy issues in case 6X 18T-6X-C 21354335 / HQTT20210355. Paragraphs 7 and 8 of this Settlement Agreement also provide the process the parties will follow to address and remedy future violations, if any, of the national PTR cap in the Maintenance Craft.
1. The Postal Service will do a one-time conversion to full-time status of 50 Maintenance Craft PTRs. In order to get 50 conversions, the Postal Service will identify 75 Maintenance Craft PTRs who will be offered a conversion opportunity. The employees will have the option to decline, in writing, the offer of conversion and remain in their current PTR duty assignments. If more than 50 PTRs accept the conversion, the Postal Service will determine the 50 PTRs who will be converted. If there are less than 50 PTRs that accept the conversion opportunity, additional PTRs will be identified for conversion until a total of 50 PTRs are converted as part of this one-time conversion. The parties will discuss the locations where the conversion opportunities will be offered. The PTRs will be converted in place to FTR status consistent with the duty assignment the PTR currently works, and the employee will remain at their current level. The Postal Service will issue a written offer of conversion to the identified PTRs as soon as practicable, but no later than five (5) months of the date of this settlement, with a copy of the offers to the APWU at the National level. A copy of the declination, if applicable, will be provided by the Postal Service to the APWU at the National level.
