NALC and USPS have settled a national level grievance regarding city carrier assistant (CCA) conversions to career status. This settlement (M-01892) provides that all city carrier assistants in any size office with 30 months of relative standing on Sept. 1, 2018, will be converted to career status within 60 days from the signing of the agreement on July 27, 2018. CCAs meeting this criteria in 200-workyear offices or larger will be converted to full-time regular, and CCAs meeting this criteria in all other offices will be converted to part-time flexible. All CCAs converted to career status in accordance with this settlement will be converted within their current installation.

NALC projects that this settlement will result in more than 5,000 CCA conversions to career status, including approximately 3,500 conversions to part-time flexible in smaller offices.
