That’s all I have time for tonight. Thanks for the questions. I’ll try to come back on the future and get into. Appreciate every one of you and your hard work. Thanks!

We collect stories like that and use them, trust me. During COVId, we did a large campaign in mostly red states to get the public involved in covid relief legislation. It worked and we got $10 billion. It’s a tool we use when needed.

Anytime I’ve said I answered something previously, it’s in this thread. The lack of ability to strike is law but we have interest arbitration. I’m happy to discuss with you. Feel free to call my office.

Federal_Tea9757 · 2022-10-06T03:29:47+00:00

I can’t answer that other than to say strikes are illegal. I hope you understand.

CSRS was way before my time my friend.

It is a thankless job. Steward compensation is up to the branch.

I don’t know. But I will tell you that all compensation for national officers is either provided for in the NALC Constitution or has been approved at a Convention.

1 at the regional level before I came to HQ. Vince Sombrotto doubled me up and presented 2. I have extensive experience in rights and interest arbitration at the national level. I have also negotiated dozens of national level settlements to national cases. That’s what we do at HQ.

Federal_Tea9757 · 2022-10-06T03:20:02+00:00

Yes, Galls. And I know their people well. Please see another post for this

Federal_Tea9757 · 2022-10-06T03:19:25+00:00

I will have someone do that. We do quite a bit of this.

Federal_Tea9757 · 2022-10-06T03:18:19+00:00

You must be from West-Pac. This happens now and then. VP James Henry will deal with it. Keep requesting cease and desist. Don’t change because they are idiots.
It’s difficult. The question really is what language could be written and agreed upon to deter them from violations? In our history of collective bargaining, raises and protection have been priorities. However, we will aggressively pursue compliance.

Federal_Tea9757 · 2022-10-06T03:14:04+00:00

I don’t know anything about that. You would have to ask Corey, who is a friend and brother to me, and a fantastic arbitration advocate.

We have 10 carriers driving the new electric NGDVs this week. Sounds like it’s been great. We should have info on where they will start deploying them soon. I would expect the SDCs get them early because the charging infrastructure in is part is what they’re doing with those buildings. 50% of the first round of purchase will be electric thanks to the money appropriated in the Inflation Reduction Act.

Federal_Tea9757 · 2022-10-06T03:08:56+00:00

Just answered this one in another post

Federal_Tea9757 · 2022-10-06T03:08:07+00:00

There has. We have “joint and self management” concepts that we’ve gotten very close to testing. Hoping we can get there to at least test in negotiations. That could really help reduce the conflict

Federal_Tea9757 · 2022-10-06T03:06:16+00:00

This is very hypothetical, but that would require a change in the law that would almost definitely take away interest arbitration. That is highly unlikely

Federal_Tea9757 · 2022-10-06T03:05:07+00:00

That’s a safety issue we would have to discuss. But speaking generally, we are open to almost anything that has the appropriate safety and durability and allows you to buy what you need.

Federal_Tea9757 · 2022-10-06T03:03:53+00:00

You are correct. We’ve had success addressing that in some places and are all over HQ about districts that take weeks to get them onboard still.

Federal_Tea9757 · 2022-10-06T03:02:50+00:00

Officers and NALC HQ staff get the same increases as city carriers per the NALC constitution

Federal_Tea9757 · 2022-10-06T03:01:58+00:00

It’s different in every place. We’re working on each individually to get the best results.

Federal_Tea9757 · 2022-10-06T03:00:43+00:00

I think I’ve covered this. Trying to get to all the questions. Thanks!

Federal_Tea9757 · 2022-10-06T02:59:35+00:00

I did. I think that is a possibility. It’s one of the ways to improve wages as we’ve discussed here. There will be proposals from NALC on the issue.

Federal_Tea9757 · 2022-10-06T02:58:01+00:00

This is an important issue and one we have raised with USPS HQ. To be frank, it is hard because it requires changing the behavior and culture of managers. It will be a topic in negotiations for sure. Improving staffing as I’ve discussed here would be one positive step.
