Ask President Burrus
Question:
With the new restrictions on the use of casuals during Tour 2 hours, will a set time-frame be established for Tour 2 — such as 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. — or will the definition of Tour 2 be based on what is established in local agreements?
Tim, Bloomington (IN) Local
President Burrus:
The hours during which a casual employee can work has been further clarified in the Questions and Answers that are being developed by the APWU and USPS. Casuals will not normally work between the hours of 0500 and 1200 in mail processing operations. In cases where Tour 2 hours are the only hours of operation, casuals may be assigned.
