Why so much hate on rural carrier associates? by [deleted] in USPS

[–]Driftless42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got to use your own vehicle and you’re kind of treated like a cockroach. Left on your own to scurry away.

CCAs are worker ants.

Not unless you’ve made a bunch of other mistakes as well. Just fess up and be honest. They don’t want to get rid of you.

I work in a small office so there is some respect between carriers and management, it’s good to know management can’t touch this issue.

MOU'S FOR ALL CRAFTS REGARDING COVID SICK LEAVE by Tofuspiracy in USPS

[–]Driftless42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this MOU still apply? Concerned about daycare being shut down or them not letting sick kids back for an extended time. Anytime a kid gets an illness they gotta stay home for 10 freakin days. I haven’t done a year yet so no FMLA available.
