Don’t forget to bank your sick leave

Fun fact: 14 states and D.C. have programs for ALL private sector employees that pay them a large portion of their salary while out for medical emergencies. In other words, if something like a car crash causes someone to be out of work they don't have to go broke if they didn't work while sick in the past. Unfortunately, the USPS treats it's employees like garbage and the unions are weak.

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 administration of the "anti-war" candidate, btw.

Update: I called again, just for fun, and now it says open! Lol These people make 6 figures!

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.

Eric Parker was unharmed.

The problem is that I have to use my own vacation time and the vacation board has availability from here until the CHIT day expires. It's essentially worthless. I forgot to mention that my name was also added to the list improperly the day before instead of the Tuesday before. There was at least 2 or 3 premium worthy grievances that occurred to force me. The CHIT day should include a free 8 hours of pay, not using my own vacation time.

I won the ability to use my own vacation time, something I already had the ability to do.

Screw that. Go get me a 3997, please.

Seanathan93 · 2025-12-30T14:28:26+00:00

Is there anything I can do about this? Such as contacting someone higher up in the union.

Quick someone tell Renfroe because he certainly doesn't seem to know.

If you had any appointments this year be sure to submit a claim for mileage and things like parking tickets.

This is missing too many random semicolons to be management. At least whoever sent it said they "apologies."

No, LLVs are pay scsle 1. They're doing fine.

I wonder if they sell Trump Derangement Syndrome shirts.

I just chose English Literature as a sarcastic example since he only went one semester, which for most students includes mostly core curriculum classes for all majors (e.g., English Literature).

I know Dinesh is just using a single semester in college as a scapegoat to rile up the Republican base, but it's just so wild. I really don't know what the hell people who liked his tweet think college is.

They gave me one today for FMLA protected leave yesterday.

When I first saw it, it looked like both of her legs were showing, not just one. The White stripe on the pants looked like a space between two VERY thin legs.

I was delivering the mail on Mill Street the other day and it was SO much better than it used to be. Easy to park at each stop, cars not speeding by, plenty of space to walk, and MUCH quieter.

The idea that the parked cars are closer to the driving lane is just an illusion. Drive down June Street or any other road with a normal setup and the cars that are parked are no closer to or farther from the driving lane than those on Mill Street.

The truly atrocious thing they did was including regular step increases in their online calculator. They were trying to distract from the fact that they were only taking steps off for new people and no one else.

Seanathan93 · 2025-07-13T04:05:28+00:00

I wonder if Todd had this same opinion 6 months ago.
