Curtailed Mail, PS Form 1571, and You
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…
Dissenters of Truth
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

December 2023 no Penalty Pay
Well the penalty overtime exclusion period(December) is upon us. It started 12-2-2023, and from the reports I have received multiple zone supervisors in Fresno have already seemingly started violating Article 8 even more than they have previously, and I must say that is quite a task…. Anyway sisters and brothers,…
