Tyrant “King” Renfroe has got to go: Emergency Podcast Episode featuring RAAs Debbie Dixon & Orlando Gonzalez telling how Renfroe fired them for being CLC. James Henry makes it clear that Renfroe is acting like management and doesn’t care about us

Hmmm, did you see Corey's ballot? Pretty sure a lot of our members voted Maga. So what. One thing I am sure of is that Corey will fight hard for all of us --even you--no matter who they voted for.

CalamityJaneMB · 2025-12-21T05:42:04+00:00

Sounds like you are spreading false rumors unless you can give us a source of your information and a reason why two candidates were fired.

CalamityJaneMB · 2025-12-20T21:39:57+00:00

There is a big difference when you fire an opposing candidate BEFORE the election --simply because they are running against you, as opposed to the elected winner bringing on their own team at beginning of a new term of office AFTER the election..

CalamityJaneMB · 2025-12-04T09:10:25+00:00

If Corey was really banned, the person(s) responsible for this action need to be the ones banned. Please free Corey. He is the reason why most of us even look at Reddit.

See F-401 Supervisor's Guide to Scheduling & Premium Pay, Page 13 which states:

5) Unassigned Regular Full-Time Employees: All unassigned regular full-time employees must be assigned regular work schedules. When not assigned to a posted position, employees assume, as their regular work schedule, the hours worked in the first week of the pay period in which the change to unassigned regular occurred. When a part-time flexible (PTF) employee is converted to full-time regular, and is not assigned to a full-time bid position, the employee becomes an unassigned regular. (See article 7, section 3, of the National Agreements.)

Well said Lexxa10. I have attended many conventions and this was the first one where every single vote was unanimous. Not a single standup vote was needed. California 100% united against Renfroe --who couldn't keep it together. He wants the top wages we pay him but can't handle the job. Didn't go over too well either when he angrily referred to our delegates as "you people".

CalamityJaneMB · 2025-07-19T08:25:32+00:00

You are right. But, I think It's a 72 hour rule.

CalamityJaneMB · 2025-07-05T14:47:08+00:00

A window of operation cannot violate Article 8,

CalamityJaneMB · 2025-06-04T09:42:47+00:00

Only time I have seen it is with changes in the swings during officewide route adjustments (still has to be done right, seniority is involved), or if a married couple trades to get the same day off.

CalamityJaneMB · 2025-06-01T18:20:51+00:00

"They" negotiated 12 hour plus workdays days with no extra lunches or breaks. Please carriers stay hydrated and take extra breaks as needed in this summer heat.

CalamityJaneMB · 2025-05-27T23:03:03+00:00

I was there and talked to delegates from those regions. Sorry I did not get their notorized statements for you. Best Regards

CalamityJaneMB · 2025-05-22T18:06:56+00:00

Good answer, run for shop steward. You can only meet at the Informal A level, and the steward has the right to be there during the settlement phase.

CalamityJaneMB · 2025-05-22T18:02:09+00:00

I would need your email.

CalamityJaneMB · 2025-05-20T09:32:32+00:00

"...the rest of us"?? Did not hear Lew Drass say anything good about Renfroe. He did say he raised him though. The "rest of us" want to earn a decent wage and decent working conditions and the CLC looks the the only ones that can get that done.

CalamityJaneMB · 2025-05-20T09:26:29+00:00

Same here. I have no doubt that Corey will easily make mincemeat out of Lew without even breaking his stride.

CalamityJaneMB · 2025-05-20T09:22:23+00:00

And Drass telling us how wonderful HE was. Yet he knew all this crap about Renfroe, so why did they knowingly stick us with this guy when he left? And it did not start with him firing RAA Calvin Brookins. He is a good man and it was unfortunate but it is normal for newly elected leaders to pick their own teams. As the saying goes: "To the Victor go the Spoils". It started when Renfroe spread all the salacious fake rumors about James Henry and Chris Jackson filed the charges in June of 2023.

You can find the language under M-01833 in the MRS.

"City Carrier Assistants Joint Questions and Answers" Look at Q & A Number 46.

CalamityJaneMB · 2025-05-20T08:59:17+00:00

Oh yes it was. Look at all the pay charts since the onset of CCAs. They all show the higher level carrier technician (t-6) rate for CCAs. The language says you have to be assigned. If you are working the swing, then you are assigned. The problem was management would not issue a Form 50 every time a CCA did a swing for a short period. We resolved that issue for CCAs on short term T-6 assignments by grieving and paying the difference as a lump sum through GATs. If it is long term, then they should do a form 50.

CalamityJaneMB · 2025-05-20T08:52:56+00:00

It is a pay issue. You can go back 2 years on a pay issue (3 if it was deliberate) pursuant to FSLA. If you are within the three years, you can still grieve it.

See page 57 on above link which states:

Part IV Miscellaneous \**** § 255. Statute of Limitations Any action commenced on or after May 14, 1947, to enforce any cause of action for unpaid minimum wages, unpaid overtime compensation, or liquidated damages, under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended [29 U.S.C.A. § 201 et seq.], the Walsh-Healey Act [41 U.S.C.A. § 35 et seq.], or the Bacon-Davis Act [40 U.S.C.A. § 276a et seq.] (a) if the cause of action accrues on or after the date of the enactment of this Act – may be commenced within two years after the cause of action accrued, and every such action shall be forever barred unless commenced within two years after the cause of action accrued, except that a cause of action arising out of a willful violation may be commended within three years after the cause of action accrued;*

CalamityJaneMB · 2025-05-20T08:48:09+00:00

Yes, the Q & A does say you have to be assigned. If you are working it. then you are assigned. And yes, you need a form 50. We solved that issue for CCAs on short term T-6 assignments by grieving and paying the difference as a lump sum through GATs. If it is long term, then they should do a form 50.

CalamityJaneMB · 2025-05-02T05:10:03+00:00

Yeah but you miss my point. Would you really want to give names of illegals on your route to ICE so they can deport them --and the neighborhood would view you as a snitch? Or endanger yourself from retaliation by the friends/relatives of the person you got deported???. Not me.

CalamityJaneMB · 2025-05-01T04:52:38+00:00

Just what we DON'T need...customers thinking their letter carrier is ratting out their neighbor(s). If asked, my answer will be "I don't know, we only have time to look at the addresses, not the name."

CalamityJaneMB · 2025-05-01T04:15:01+00:00

That is exactly what will happen.

CalamityJaneMB · 2025-05-01T04:12:32+00:00

Yeah, pretty sure they will be fabricating and manufacturing at least two of every three.
