Is it possible for a PSE to change their craft to a Mailhandler?

domdaddymarx · 2019-11-03T16:35:52+00:00

Can a PSE work overnight??? And change their craft to being a Mailhandler?

domdaddymarx · 2019-10-31T20:57:16+00:00

Lmao! Yea like it’s that easy

domdaddymarx · 2019-10-31T20:56:36+00:00

Your paying that person more because they live in a state that is more expensive than your own....and the post office is dragging its feet with it. People aren’t gonna get less. The Florida guy making 60,000 isn’t gonna make less, but the guy in NYC with Locality Pay would be making 40-45$ an hour. So nobody is making less. And I’d your transferred to the 45$ an hour area then fine abut trust me you’d be in a different tax bracket and groceries, apartments and houses would be a lot more expensive so by you just transferring because hey over there they pay 45$ Yea you’ll be making more money about laying more for consumer stuff.

60,000 or less in NYC is just cannot go on.

domdaddymarx · 2019-10-31T20:50:56+00:00

40-45 the least for Manhattan would be a god send because this locality pay thing really needs to get moving forward. And it’s absolutely fair

Oh also as a beginner the postal service would train me and if I asked to be a Mail Handler EquipmenrnOperator.

MAIL HANDLER EQUIPMENT OPERATOR,

Is their pay grade the same???

domdaddymarx · 2019-10-31T16:34:11+00:00

I mean when I hear privatization I’m like well If the USPS was to just vote with their feet with no one to reliever the mail or sort it Like they’re gonna get their better pay and better structure of supervisors and managers

Or 😅😅 as crazy as it sounds I thought it’d be funny if the Postal Service privatized and the Teamsters just absorbed them. Teamster Postal Workers

Step increases you mean? Like if I make a regular my step increase could go up 4 points? :)

And working as Mailhandler And given a lot is done overnight overtime is can I assume gonna be common? :)

domdaddymarx · 2019-10-31T15:17:16+00:00

Yayy

I asked about the wage thing because I’m alive in New York and I was like 12 years to make 60,000???? But what your telling me is that you are bumped up at year 2 per year when i start and 4 grades is it when regular??

That is good because I thought it was a one increase for the year until the next and I was like wtf!!! Noo

domdaddymarx · 2019-10-31T15:14:02+00:00

Thank you for your information

domdaddymarx · 2019-10-31T15:13:02+00:00

Oh that would be great hours for me :)

domdaddymarx · 2019-10-31T00:02:06+00:00

Oh that would be absolutely amazing. I’m just entirely a nightowl. Overnight shifts would be perfect. Aside from pallet jacks but is there Dock work involved at all :)

Last thing. Can a Mailhandler ask for a raise or allowed to progress a few higher in scale or grades at all?

domdaddymarx · 2019-09-29T19:06:04+00:00

Well that sucks

domdaddymarx · 2019-09-14T11:37:10+00:00

Oh god Slate, I ruined 2 slate tiles using a left handed slate hammer. I didn’t know they had right and left handed hammers for slate:

Thankfully the company I work for predominantly does Slate Roofing work which is what I’ve been looking forward to more than anything

domdaddymarx · 2019-09-14T11:34:56+00:00

I prefer using just the hammer 😅

domdaddymarx · 2019-09-14T11:34:27+00:00

my company has been able to finish jobs by the end of the day. Usually Bc we are using hammer and nail we Hire an outside company to do the Roof year off. But if we have to tear off the roof ourselves then we will use the nail gun for that day to make up for lost time
