question for USPS employee...what is the difference between casual and transitional employee?

Public Comments

1. Transitional employees are armed and easily angered.
2. Casuals are temporary workers who work up to a specific time limit and are let go. They are paid a lower hourly wage and receive no benefits. I can't describe for you accurately the new transitional positions being created. The PO did something similar to this back in the late 1980s and only a handful of those transitionals ever made it into career positions, and never did get full credit for that transitional time.
3. A casual employee is for just 90 day terms, can be rehired for another 90 days but limited to 180 days a year with one day unemployment between appointments. Transitional is endless employment in that catergory, and placed on the senority list toward becoming a regular. Neither has benefits or guarantees of hours or days per week, is required to work holidays.
4. VIOLATION!!!
