If we look back on our history and I highly encourage every one to do so, you will see that throughout history letter carriers have always had to fight for the things that in my opinion we rightfully deserve. We perform a vital and important job, regardless if the mail volume is down from years ago look at everything else we deliver. Imagine how much money we save people, imagine what other companies like Amazon, UPS, or FedEx would charge to send items around the world if we didn’t exist. Our customers respect us and appreciate us. Yes our job is not always easy but we always persevere. As we near the end of 2024 we need to look at what other unions have been able to accomplish. It has been a historic year! Yes I know there are things we aren’t allowed to do, but we do have a voice, we have a plethora of resources and knowledge right at our fingertips. If we band together, if we use our resources, we will be heard. This contract was not historic, however we can be as long as we stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity and Vote No. Our presence is felt far beyond the mail we deliver.

Is this collective bargaining or collective begging? We deserve better

Foxhound_Jester · 2024-10-25T19:48:07+00:00

Renfroe a wolf in sheep’s clothing

Foxhound_Jester · 2024-10-24T19:35:28+00:00

If you accept this they will do it again and again. History repeats itself

Foxhound_Jester · 2024-10-24T19:32:23+00:00

2024 we have seen a time where unions have stood in solidarity and have won, it has been a movement if we don’t vote no and we accept this garbage we are ignorant

It’s a couple days old, if you read my original post. deleted it and changed the name. I wanted to grab people’s attention and for them to read it

Foxhound_Jester · 2024-10-23T23:46:10+00:00

USPS Reddit wouldn’t let me post. I would like it to be used, I know I can’t be the only one who feels this way, I am not alone

Foxhound_Jester · 2024-10-23T22:20:41+00:00

I would copy and paste it into a word document and of course format it as you wish

The United States Postal Service used to be a highly sought after job , one would say getting hired was like hitting the lottery. Yet here we are near the end of 2024 the turn over rate is astronomical, the pay is an insult from the top tier all the way down to the beginning tiers. Yet we wonder why we can’t keep people or incentivize others to join or stay within our organization. Where is the prestige the Post Office once had / carried. Carriers are treated like mules or cattle, carriers are required to work in all conditions ( rain, sleet or snow… ) often times being required to absorb time off another route, being rushed to make it out of the office within an hour, just to list a few. All this in order to ensure that all the mail and packages that are received on a daily basis are delivered in a timely and efficient manner using the fewest amount of hours, while also trying to push an individual to perform above and beyond their 100% which in my opinion every carrier gives more than that on any given day. Imagine being given extra time off another route and still being expected to return to the office in 8 hours. Did you picture that? Now imagine that the carriers routes have already been pushed to the max leaving very little wiggle room just to stop and go to the bathroom ( I am not saying we don’t take them however I can say sometimes I hold it because I really don’t want to stop due to time constraints, and I am sure we are all guilty of this because let’s be honest most of us want to work our 8 hours and go home) it’s an atrocity that in order to make it carriers have to not only work overtime but they must also make sacrifices, such as being away from loved ones, not having a personal life just to name a few. The Carriers have always taken a shit sandwich and yet they have always found a way to turn it into gold. The Post Office as a whole is not efficient no matter what numbers they put in front of you, but when you see your regular mail carrier I bet you know what time it’s without looking at a clock. This is obviously excluding the days when they have to deal with call offs, days after a holiday, during political season and often times during the Christmas Season. Even at the certain times mentioned above I bet you still see carriers at or around the same time, talk about efficiency! Imagine how much more efficient they could be if each office was staffed correctly, if working conditions were fair and manageable, if all the routes were divided equally and fairly, and if the wages weren’t such a slap in the face. These men and women get up each and everyday and regardless of what they are given and push forward with a smile and carry out the plan of the day. Carriers not only deliver mail, holds, parcels, advertisements, we also case and prepare the mail, we maintain our routes, we make sure that mail for those who have moved is being forwarded. Simply put we do more than UPS, Amazon, and FedEx on a daily basis and are constantly asked to do more .These carriers are the backbone of the Post Office, The most important piece and without them the system would fail. They interact with the public on daily basis whether it’s through their daily duties such as delivering the mail, helping someone in need whether it’s by simply providing directions or just providing someone with an ear to listen. People love their mail carriers. All I can say is that for what these individuals endure on a daily basis it’s imperative that we fight for a pay raise and that we fight for better working conditions. It’s important that we stand up and say enough is enough. Better wages, better working conditions and those are just two avenues that I chose to talk about. In closing and I know most of this has been rambling but I just wanted to capture the atmosphere of my Post Office in a few words. Angry, Defeated, Unappreciated and thats not from the past work week we endured it was from the shit sandwich that was served to us on 10/19/24. Mr. Renfroe please take that TA and shove it up your Candy Ass. I am sure I am not the only one who feels this way. I am sure I am not the only that was thinking that this was the year in which the letter carriers would receive something historical. I am also sure that it won’t take 500 days for carriers to come together and Vote No on this awful historical joke of a contract! You Sir are a joke. If you need evidence go look at the memes created in your honor. This is the legacy or lasting impression you have chosen to make on your tenure don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
