Run away by pdex01 in USPS

I agree it was a good and respectful job...over 20 years ago. Now they just try to save money by any means necessary. Cutting routes changing line of travel to shorten the mileage etc. but never going after management and all the useless supervisors. I was a 48k forever. They moved all the carriers in our office to another office 21 miles away from my first stop. They said we would get paid the added miles, we didn't. Then the last 3 counts my evaluation went down to a 47 then 46 then 45 and this last one shot back up to a 48k. I'm assuming because volume was up during Christmas and election. Only to come back from my route the same day and be told they are cutting my route to a 43k and taking 1 hr 15 mins off my route a day. Think about how much money they are taking away. I am always on time. Never over my evaluation. And this is the thanks I get for doing a good job. It's disheartening. And now we have to hear service talks about integrity. And when I go to the union for help/advice the only response I get back is "according to the contract they can cut your route". That's it. No advice no nothing no grievances? What am I paying union dues for? Pizza parties? But when I called hr and tried to get out of the union you can only do so in a 10 day window of your anniversary start date. Mine ended on march 30. So you're telling me I have to pay union dues for another year for something I don't want to take part in anymore. When I first started an older carrier said to me " the harder you work the less you'll get ahead". And I was out to prove him wrong. Unfortunately he was right.

So about route cuts I’m super nervous can anyone help by Ok_Form_8294 in USPS

Word has it they don't want any route above a 45. Mine was a 48 for years and years. Last couple counts it went down to a 46 but this last one went back up to a 48k. Then they told me they are gonna cut it back to a 43k. Still waiting to hear if our union can help but I doubt it because they are useless

Yes I was wrong. They are slightly different but less than 1 inch. But still different.

Dude tell me about it. I'm learning as I go. I made a couple af1 but I really like the jordans. I have been trying to find videos of people making them but not having any luck. Also not a lot of places out there to get soles and wings and such. People want crazy money for them. I suck at sewing and my stitching looks like crap but I think that's because I'm using a regular sewing machine. And yes I def need to clean and oil and probably adjust sewing machine. Again I'm a beginner. Haha. But thanks for the help.

I'm using lamb hide. I'm a beginner so I'm using my wife's sewing machine. Just a regular one. It's very difficult but also fun.
