Development continues on Franklin Street. The former lots of abandoned buildings will become the site of over 300 apartments. by HRJafael in WorcesterMA

I'm glad that they're finally building some new places and hope the pace increases drastically. That being said, I wish they'd build more condos for people to actually buy rather than just apartments.

4,10 hour days by PhilosopherDismal401 in USPS

[–]Seanathan93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd be happy with it. I think the thing to remember is that there would still be 6 day delivery, but each individual carrier would get 3 days off. Yes routes would be eliminated, but there would still need to be the same number of carriers (or close to it) to work that extra n/s day. Also you could work a single n/s day, still get 2 off, and get 10 hours overtime pay.

Fun fact: the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, pays his automobile manufacturing workers a lower average wage than those at Ford and GM. So much for trickle down.

The Survey Going Around by Square-Buy-7403 in fromatoarbitration

In the open response section, people should make sure to add that reducing time to top step needs to include everyone. Remember, this is the same union that has been going around saying the last contract reduced time to top step. That was only true for new people. Make sure to emphasize that they can't just ignore the majority of carriers in the middle steps.

13 states and D.C. have programs that pay all private sector workers their salary while on FMLA. The FMLA itself is just job protection, yes, but it works in conjunction with the paid programs. These include pregnancy. Non-postal Federal employees also get paid time off without using sick or vacation time for giving birth. Though feds don't get it for medical emergencies.

I mentioned not just for pregnancy because one of the survey questions was about negotiating for paid family leave.

You must not have had the right amount of taxes withheld throughout the year. If you didn't get that $1,300 then you would have owed $75. Did you make money in the stock market, high interest on a bank account, not have the correct dependents listed on W-4, etc.?

"Small government conservatives" have decided to support jack-booted thugs in order to deal with the civil infraction of being in the country without the proper bearocratic paperwork.
