You, Handbook EL-505 Injury Compensation, and the Dissenters of Truth

Michael, March 3, 2024September 30, 2024

Repeatedly, I come across the issue of the Dissenters of Truth isolating carriers, and talking to them in private without any witnesses. This makes it difficult sometimes(often) because we know what the Dissenters of Truth are doing. Always request a steward/witness to be present anytime management tries to isolate you,…

Do you wish your checks had more money? Through the National Agreement there is a simple solution to get more money, in this case free money. Below is from Article 1, when you see anyone from management doing craft employees work be it carriers, clerks, mail handlers, or VMF work…

Here is some good information if you are preggers, please share this link with everyone you know that is pregnant, or may become pregnant. Everyone needs to know their rights and enforce them, because we know the management types don’t care. This should be able to be enforced through both…

Attendance and You

In light of the MIGHTY Kansas City Chiefs winning back to back Super Bowls, and we are only a 7 weeks into 2024, so you have plenty of time to order your Chiefs gear, and show your appreciation to what could become the greatest NFL team of all time. Will…

Curtailed Mail, PS Form 1571, and You

Michael, January 25, 2024September 30, 2024

At least 1 Fresno Installation station on 1-25-2024 has seemingly curtailed Fresno County Election Mail. That’s right, management types from what I am hearing, allegedly told the carriers of their zone/station to curtail, or outright not to deliver Fresno County Election Mail. Article 3 allows management to manage, or mismanage…

Michael, January 15, 2024September 30, 2024

Hello brothers and sisters, Saturday was great as the Kansas City Chiefs won. FSU Coach Pat Hill always said just go 1-0 every week. I must admit though, that even stickum probably wouldn’t have helped some of the Chiefs receivers this season…… shout out to Lester Hayes….. How do you…

Only you can take away your integrity no one else can

Michael, January 9, 2024September 30, 2024

I will start out with a shout out for a management type doing the right thing, by a craft employee. Sadly it is so rare. Let’s get started, in a recent conversation I had with someone, integrity was talked about. We were talking about management willfully and knowingly violating that…
