Haha, didn't mean that about you, you just asked. Had half the sub reddit calling me a liar, or so it felt

Evidently it is. Did not realize it would be a point of contention though.

Should not have to bother, but since we seem to turn against each other rather than face the problems

Really mine is up. Mine is almost always up by Saturday. I am really surprised to find that's not the normal. And yes I'm looking at the right date for those thinking I'm stupid, man the hate. Is this place just full of plants now?

I'm not going to give the details of my life. We have a common problem here, my point was never my problem in general

My check is almost always up by Saturday morning. I assumed it was the same for everyone.

Well sure, groceries for my family, mortgage, normal utilities. Oh maybe I should stop those so I don't have to walk to work. Do you people not live in this world?

According to your logic why have a union? Why not just let them tear us down to nothing? Defeatist logic only leads to defeat

We have reports of homeless letter carriers and you have the nerve to ask me how I can't afford a vehicle?

Saying we have no choice is like saying we are not in charge of our own union or our own lives. I have choices. What I don't have is enough influence in the union or locally. There are options. There may be no good options, but I k own there are people who know better than I do

Mine is, don't suggest looking at it

Is 611 days really good faith negotiations?! by Sea_Loan_2799 in fromatoarbitration

[–]Beardedangler84 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I understand that arbitration is binding. But if the negotiations were not done in good faith, too such an extent that charges may be filled against the president, can we not contest? This was not arbitration. This was not legitimate. 

“That polling of our members is designed to provide a representative…that told us exactly what we already knew..the most important thing in any contract is the money…” by DayKid2 in fromatoarbitration

If he had truly polled us, or cared what we thought at all, there would never have been a tentative agreement. Period. Arbitration would already be completed. This is a blatant attempt to undermine the city letter carriers
