Lion's Den Episode 10: Final reading of the 6-day count


Listen Later

In this episode of "The Lion's Den," Corey concludes his six-part series on the M39 Handbook's Section 2, focusing on route inspections and six-day counts. He expresses relief at finishing the lengthy reading, highlighting its importance for stewards to become specialists in route inspections, which can benefit their station, district, and area.

He then delves into the specifics of various route adjustment reports: the Existing Route Summary Report, the Adjusted Route Summary Report, the Allied Time Report, the Territory Transfer Summary Report, and the Route Summary Report. Corey meticulously explains the purpose and content of each report, guiding listeners on how to interpret the data, compare existing and adjusted route values, and identify potential discrepancies or validations needed. He stresses the importance of comparing totals between reports and documenting any time changes or territory transfers, referencing the Form 1840 Reverse. He also points out the critical detail that allied time does not automatically transfer and must be manually moved by management.

Corey provides detailed explanations of each section within the Route Summary Report, including possible deliveries, allied time, street time, office time, priority time, and total route time. He also breaks down the allied time details, explaining loading, travel to, travel from, travel within, deadhead, and relay times, noting that relays often have zero time associated with them, which may indicate an issue. He highlights the Territory Transfer Summary Report's utility in arguing against scheme changes that management may not have minimized as required.

Looking ahead, Corey announces that the following Wednesday's episode will focus on "route protection," a crucial topic for new stewards preparing for September 1st, when new processes may be implemented. He also mentions his continued commitment to heat safety during the summer months, sharing his personal experience with a walking route and the significant difference in heat exposure compared to riding routes. He advises listeners to stay safe, hydrate, and take breaks as needed, emphasizing that their health and safety are paramount.

Corey announces upcoming podcast guests: John Murphy from Next Generation Carriers for a discussion on heat safety on Sunday the 13th, and Pam Donato from the CLC ticket, whom he describes as a strong advocate for city letter carriers. He concludes by thanking his listeners, encouraging them to prioritize their safety and hydrate, and jokingly congratulating them on becoming "official union nerds" for listening to all the episodes.
