M-39 Section 117.2f establishes standards for required pieces of equipment based on the number of deliveries. Under SER, 1-inch cells containing CBU and centralized deliveries may have more than the maximum number of deliveries allowed. The language in Sections 117.2b and 117.4d of Handbook M-39 and Sections 221.41 and 221.42 of Handbook M-41 limits the number of deliveries in each separation to two in normal circumstances however, under no circumstance does this language permit more than three deliveries. These changes directly impact terms and conditions of employment of city letter carriers in violation of Article 19 of the National Agreement. The SER initiative substantially alters letter carrier cases and work methods codified in the Handbooks M-39 and M-41. We have received reports from the field confirming that significant changes are being implemented. However, subsequent documentation shows that the Postal Service has instructed local management to reduce the number of city letter carrier cases and to change their configurations. On July 31, 2020, USPS notified NALC of the SER initiative and characterized it as a "review" which would solicit "feedback" from employees. Today, pursuant to Article 15, Section 3.F of the National Agreement, NALC initiated a national-level grievance regarding the Postal Service's unilateral implementation of the delivery initiative called Post Office Sortation Equipment Reconciliation (SER).
