PTF / PSE CANVASSING
MOVES ONLINE
|
Effective February 01, 2022, the
USPS will be moving all PTF/PSE
Canvassing bids online as part of
eReassign on litbelue. Both
the APWU and USPS realized there
were problems with the current
canvassing processes because some
offices failed (refused?) to share
the printed canvassing notices with
their employees. This resulted
in many PTFs missing out on the
opportunity to change offices, and
PSEs were denied the opportunity to
convert to a career position.
This new, digital, process will
remove that obstacle and grant all
employees equal opportunities to
bid. Postmasters in all
offices have been instructed to give
a service talk and post notices
about this new process. In
anticipation of the fact that some
will "forget" to do it, you can view
the posting
HERE.
