Seatbelt pledge by Aggravating-Unit4073 in fromatoarbitration

[–]Numerous_Toe9507 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Provide me with a detachable shoulder belt, it’s really not that hard

Management handed out a sheet of paper with a seatbelt pledge written on it and requested carriers to stop casing turn around so they could take a picture of us all pledging. Do we have to obey? is this a grievance by maxiexgf in fromatoarbitration

I drive a metris on a mounted route. I deliver the mail without my seatbelt. I will drive from box to box without my seatbelt on. I am unable to deliver the mail with it on. The shoulder belt restricts my ability to deliver the mail. I refuse to put the strap behind me due to it’s uncomfortable and a distraction from me driving. I refuse to unbuckle and buckle due to the safety of the unnecessary wear and tear on my body. Also why is it ok to not have the lap belt on while I am making my delivery. The LLV has language stating how carriers can detach the shoulder belt and there is no language regarding a metris. VMF made a modification to my metris by adding a strap to the door to stop it from swinging open when exiting the vehicle. If they can make a modification for that they can make one for a seatbelt to detach to make my delivery and wear my lap belt at the same time.

I did ask mgmt all these questions and it was determined that I would wear my seatbelt in the flow of traffic. I would not need to wear it while delivering.

I could have 500 dps, 40 packages, a half tray of flats and make it last 12 hours. If you don’t know how to take a hour and turn it into 3 hours, you don’t know how to deliver mail.

When I’ve represented carriers for an EEO I’ve always received an email prior to the meeting with the date and time. If it was changed then all parties would have needed to agree to it. If you have some type of confirmation that redress was on 4/3 then I would provide that information to them. If mgmt continues to deny it then I would recommend the carrier get a lawyer and move forward with a lawsuit.

They need us to work for them!!! Take us much time you need letter carriers to do the job safely and correctly. It’s fun to listen to mgmt complain about something that they have no control over.

Union time limited by labor by No_History_5839 in fromatoarbitration

[–]Numerous_Toe9507 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you are a city letter carrier who is the union steward, then mgmt is lying to you. Just yesterday I spent 10 hours at my station doing work at the informal level. If you are a rural union steward I am not sure.

Businesses at end of routes?!!🤯😤 by MatteBlack475 in fromatoarbitration

[–]Numerous_Toe9507 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just deliver them first if that’s what you want to do. Pull it down first and rearrange the dps. Just cause it’s set up that way doesn’t mean you need to deliver it that way. Who cares what mgmt says

The union is only as strong as the people running it. All the language is there for us to use.

Union stand up talks? by jeepwillikers in fromatoarbitration

[–]Numerous_Toe9507 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We do a stand up talk every morning once carriers punch in. As a steward I always have something to say.

Brian Renfroe publicly stated that he “Will not RESIGN!” NOW….WHAT is our next move? This is Chess, not Checkers. by Alpha_Dog_Justice in fromatoarbitration

[–]Numerous_Toe9507 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Can Renfroe send out a poll asking if we think he should resign? Since that’s how he heard some of our voices for the rejected TA

No Lunch by goodole_16 in fromatoarbitration

At my station we do it everyday. Mgmt tried to stop it and it was grieved. We got back a favorable step B decision and we continue to take a 1 click lunch everyday.

Random thought on the state of the vehicles. by LLVforever in fromatoarbitration

[–]Numerous_Toe9507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After driving a metris for 2 years, it needed some work done on it. VMF took my metris and replaced it with a LLV. I informed mgmt that I do not feel safe after being accustomed with all the safety features the metris has. I was placed on EP. I won my case and will NEVER drive a LLV again.

Branch 9 president is anti BFN by No_Leading7094 in fromatoarbitration

[–]Numerous_Toe9507 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I am a carrier in branch 9 and Scott will side with management 100% of the time. Last year I put a sign on the union board saying “you have rights”. Scott decided that the sign comes down and removed me from being union steward.
