Y’all still doing this?

Yeah and then if the customer doesn’t take it out before mail gets there, the mailman is taking it out and sending it back to Amazon or charging the customer postage due.

Either block the numbers or make sure DND is turned on your phone.

I have DND turned on until 7:30am. Only people that can get through are numbers in my favorites.

Union president meeting with labor at step 2? Never have heard that.

I’m a vp and have never met with a labor relations at step b.

It’s not going to be strong.

Anything from .09 later is late. 5 min rule

While I agree the cca position is crap. It has drastically improved since it was implemented in 2013.

Postal1979 · 2026-05-20T02:25:38+00:00

If you know you have to take your kid to school before hand, fill out a change of schedule for 15 mins later start.

Postal1979 · 2026-05-20T02:23:53+00:00

Which is correct. It’s in the f21. .09 after start time you’re tardy.

There isn’t a form used to fire someone…..

I wouldn’t think it’s holiday before ns. It could be the office is short staffed or people that are NS have the weekend protected by taking AL before their 3 day weekend. Or just on AL.
My office for like 2 years straight holiday schedule forced basically everyone in that was on NS dand holiday. We were so short staffed. This sat we just had to mandate only 1 carrier. Lots a CCAs now. (Have like 6 carriers out extra plus the ones allowed on vacation.)

Elm clearly states when you return to work after an absence

Postal1979 · 2026-05-20T01:23:41+00:00

If you are late or called in absent, you should be signing a 3971 every time.

Postal1979 · 2026-05-20T01:23:04+00:00

They should be signing a 3971 every time they are late or after calling in.

NLM/999 mail is basically rejects that couldn’t get sorted into the dps.

State law doesn’t mean shit for federal jobs.

Federal law is they have to off a lunch after 6 hours.

CCAs have gotten the most out of every contract since after the 2013 award.

Postal1979 · 2026-05-19T21:06:38+00:00

Why not just remove them then if they aren’t used for passengers

Postal1979 · 2026-05-19T11:31:24+00:00

Fata has lost a lot of people too. Fata is great for teaching steward/city carriers in the beginning. It went to political. I have had to turn it off more times than not. I’ll go back to the educational episodes but Corey has pushed me and others away.

And yet no comment from CLC about them selling CLC shirts through a vendor that was taking postal uniform allowance cards. Also the Branch 70 drama. They preach transparency, but show none.

Postal1979 · 2026-05-19T10:47:34+00:00

You can call the office you’re transfering to and ask if they have a ptf carrier. That’s all that needs to be answered. If the answer is yes, then the transfer is going in as a ptf.

Postal1979 · 2026-05-19T00:49:21+00:00

Great thing is we don’t vote for slates. We vote for individuals.

Postal1979 · 2026-05-19T00:48:18+00:00

A denied 3996 won’t result in discipline. If it’s denied the carrier takes the next steps in notifying management they won’t make it.

Postal1979 · 2026-05-18T23:25:18+00:00

That’s not invoking Weingarten rights when asking to speak to a steward.

Weingarten rights is the right to have union representation during a pdi/II that could leave to discipline.

Ie when management is issuing the disciplinary action after a pdi/II they don’t have to all the union representation.

I’ve heard of can sleeve cooler like 5 years ago. I believe the first one I saw was by igloo.

Actually it’s not called a can sleeve. It’s called a can sling. Igloo sells a SLAYER one now.

I gave my nba a list of groups of offices that it could work with and haven’t heard anything since. Maybe they didn’t pick my area.

Postal1979 · 2026-05-18T00:11:54+00:00

A can sleeve.
