| Retirement Seminar- USPS |
A note from our NBA Pete Coradi:
Just a friendly heads up.
These Group Retirement Seminars are in fact off-the-clock as management notes in the advertisement.
However, what they do not note is that as per ELM 589, individual telephonic retirement counseling is in fact on-the-clock.

Act NOW
Today is the day to call your senators to support the USPS Fairness Act. Will you call?
Dial 844-402-1001 or click here to be connected
Tell them to cosponsor S. 2965, the USPS Fairness Act. The Act would remove the burdensome pre-funding mandate that Congress imposed back in 2006. That would free up funding to invest in the service and put it back on the road to sustainability as a PUBLIC Postal Service.
I know you believe the US Postal Service should be a place that continues to provide good jobs and good service. I am asking you to take only a few minutes and make a call today. Don't forget, you can call twice to reach both of your senators.
Dial 844-402-1001 or click here to be connected.
In union solidarity,

Things a Member Should Do
Members, there are several things you should do periodically to protect yourself, and to assist your Union in protecting your rights.
A very important and overlooked task a member should do is periodically review their Official Personnel File. Know what is in your OPF, and if there is something that should not be in there, take action to have it removed.

Postal Service Unilaterally Changes Safety Program
Not surprisingly, the Postal Service has once again unilaterally changed a program within the job. This time, the Postal Service has changed the safety program, essentially ridding themselves of safety captains, local safety and health committees, and the nuisance (to managers) form 1767 report of safety problems.
This action seeks to circumvent the Union's and long standing practices.

My job is safe. NOT!
So you thought you had a job, eh? A good job. Good days off, good hours. Seniority has its privileges, eh? You’re a senior lead clerk, level 7, do the tasks you want to do. But do TACS? No, I do not want to do that. Station inputs? No, let them find some junior clerk to do that. In fact, let management do that work.
