Communication is Key |
|
|
It has come to our attention that a large number of emails are being returned, inhibiting our ability to communicate with you, the members. If you have not received an email message in the past two weeks, please do the following:
If you have used your USPS email, the system will reject the Union's email. Please use your private email. Rest assured we do not share your email with anyone, especially marketers.
If you have used a private email, make sure that our emails are not being placed in your spam folder. Mark the emails as not spam, or place in the white list.
Check the email in your profile, and make sure it is entered correctly.
Timely communication is integral to our mission, to keep you, the member informed. Please help us help you.

Just a friendly heads up.
These Group Retirement Seminars are in fact off-the-clock as management notes in the advertisement.

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.

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.
