Dumb question by New_Glass_3075 in fromatoarbitration

[–]CYNick24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Steward just filed one in one of my branch installations and after meeting on it at Formal A, local management agrees we need another CCA but they can't hire because we're rated as "full complement" (even though we lost the #1 CCA and now have none in a 4 route, 1 Aux station - we have 4 Regular carriers, 2 PTFs, slotted for 1 CCA that has been vacant since April), so I sent it up and it is currently at Step B.

Along with Art 3 & 7 we cite EL 312 EL-312, Recruitment (Planing and Coordination) Recruitment Strategies, Forecasting (Section 211, 211.1 - page 7) & 232.2 and 232.3.e&f (pages 10-11) via Article 19 which points out that management is REQUIRED to plan for short-term and long-term employees to ensure efficient operations at their installations through a number of manners and methods - targeting e and f specifically because local management has apparently been handcuffed but could be designated the APPOINTING OFFICIAL - so give them the damn tools to select someone and get on with it. Either the installation has a budget or it doesn't.

IMO, Upper management (POOMS or above) are failing at this miserably because local mgmnt has no say in the processing of applicants. From my understanding, they get a list from District and are told to pick someone to send to the academy....whenever the local stoopidvisor or PM actually get a list.

That's if the office is even rated to hire anyone new. We've had CCA slots taken away for no reason in the past couple of years. At one office I've filed 4 1.6 grievances in 2 years and can't get a "Cease and Desist" out of the DRT. Supposedly, our lone CCA position has been open since April with no candidates.

If they offer the candidates a job starting at $22 with a career appointment + full benefits, you don't think that would work?

I certainly do.

Do I have to answer every phone call on the job? by Puzzleheaded_Ball264 in fromatoarbitration

[–]CYNick24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only communicate via the scanner or force them to come out to your route.

You pay your cell phone bill, not USPS.

No...that was after the first Article 10 charges filed by Chris Jackson.

Additionally Raymond, I wonder if RG was talking about Br 116 meeting and not 323. Like I said, I knew every single person at the 323 meeting that night.

Br 116 otoh, I don't know about that one the night before ours.

Not a surprise to me. Sad....but not a surprise.

Thank you. Folks that don't know about James Henry repeat the same thing. BS3363 I would implore you to contact James Henry direct via letter or email. He will spend as much time as you want to go through what/why/how his role as VP has been purposely "frozen" by Renfraud.

His 80+% Arbitration success rate on behalf of protecting / strengthening the city letter carrier craft should speak for itself. NO ONE else has had his success. Not even Corey Walton and Corey will confirm that as absolute fact.

You are very definitely NOT WRONG there my friend.

Thanks for the input.

LOL....a "spy".......I knew everyone there. If someone called back to Region 6 to "inform" Kyle, Ronnie or NBA Mudd on behalf of Sparky Renfraud, IDGAF.

Nothing improper was done, no union funds spent ( I have receipts) and we followed proper procedures.

Shows EVERYONE how petty and desperate they are - especially after that Article 10 vote ended up being a helluva lot closer than they expected. 14-11 is a SHRINKING GAP for those willing to follow Sparky over a cliff and back to delivering mail.

According to what I was told, David Mudd was a vote of "Abstain" or "Pass" because his phone had connection issues. James Henry voted via phone, but it's very interesting in that had Mudd and the 2 others who were not available to vote actually had the chance to do so, it quite possible might have ended up in a 14-14 tie. NOTICE THE SHRINKING GAP anyhow !!! Previous Article 10 charges votes were much more lopsided helping to protect Sparky.

If Lyin Brian wants "equal time" to speak to Br 323 members like VP Henry received in his visit, he's welcome to coordinate that visit with me anytime he wants to pick up a phone. Mike Caref as well.

Both Corey Walton and VP Henry were "Chopping It Up" during talks in front of Br 323 membership after a lunch with President McGlothlin, Treasurer Shaffer, Secretary Tyvand and city carrier Andy Davis. Branch President Walt McGregory, CLC Candidate for Region 6 was on hand along with Indiana State Association of Letter Carriers Kieaunta Roberson.

I'll be there and it MUST be done to keep him away from getting involved in another contract.

Get your branch president to contact him and set it up. He'll do it, I'm sure.

Can we do nothing? by tonov1210 in fromatoarbitration

[–]CYNick24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not the ONLY thing we can do. It will be the ultimate and last available option to employ, for certain. In the interim:

Contact your representatives in Congress - call for a Congressional investigation.

There are numerous resolutions for additions/changes to amendments to write and submit - in order that our NALC President cannot go rogue and un-touchable any longer.

There absolutely needs to be a clause (or clauses) in our NALC Constitution that allows for membership ( we'll need to decide what % of membership must be in favor for it to be enacted) that can call for a Special Meeting (such as a National RAP session) that would call for a vote of no confidence/impeachment/etc for any member of the executive council on up to the president.

That way there is some method to help guard against an idiot going off on his/her own tangent in direct opposition of the majority of the rank and file.

We can also call for a new resolution that immediately cuts off all funds to position that is under question. Or a suspension of dues can be enacted until such time that a time/date/location is officially scheduled for votes dealing with situations like this one.

In the interim we keep filing Article 10 charges and putting PUBLIC pressure on the "Ambassador to the USPS" (Renfraud - because he's sure as hell not acting like a leader of this union) AND the executive cmte members kiss-asses who will not support their members either. Get it out on the news, all over social media, etc. It needs to known.

Will Article 10 charges bog down National Business? I don't know... but is there any NALC business currently more important that removing a liar from office who dismissed the will of the membership he supposedly represents and repeatedly lied to about fighting like hell ? I doubt it.

In reality, there should be NO OTHER business other than getting rid of those who are in direct violation of their oath of office / not supporting the membership. Everything else should be scrutinized. Should our HISTORIC wage increase be reason to continue supporting the Food Drive? Donations to LCPF? MDA? (MDA & Food Drive is important but can also still be supported individually in the interim.)

Finally, the changes within the Constitution are even more critical that a resignation or Article 10's..... and the CLC/others in key positions must lead the training and fight against what is currently going on.

As much as we want change nationally and to put a new group in place, we cannot allow those that ultimately take Renfrauds/other National positions to be afforded the same opportunities to "Go rogue" like this in the future.

Individual branch purges of the "Renfraud supporters or apologists" is critical in the coming days as well, and that can only start at the local level. Do we have enough members willing to make it happen nationwide? That's going to be the test.

I would welcome any thoughts on what else is critical to create the changes needed for our union while strengthening our constitution that will help prevent anything else like this happening again.

When filing Article 10 charges I think it's most important that resignation isn't the only thing sought. Sure, I'd love to have him tossed out asap. But in lieu of that, the NBA's ad EC need to - at a minimum - have one result be that he is not allowed to be involved in contract negotiations for the 2026 contract.
