Postal Surveys raise their heads again

Updated On: Mar 26, 2021

The Postal Service is again sending out a survey of employees, this time targeting Postal Support Employees. As the Union has for years, we urge our members to not participate in the surveys. The Postal Service manages to find ways to use the results against the Union in negotiations. They are not seeking to help employees, but for their advantage. Please read the information and statement from our National Officer Vance Zimmerman.

Subject: PSE Retention Survey

All, recently the Postal Service notified the APWU that they would be conducting a survey of PSEs assigned to Function 4. This survey is being referred to as “retention survey for Postal Support Employees (PSEs) currently assigned to Function 4 (Customer Service Operations).” The USPS has stated that the purpose of the survey is to “obtain feedback from PSEs assigned to Function 4 regarding their overall workplace experience. The Postal Service continues to say, “ It is anticipated that the feedback received from the survey will guide the Postal Service in developing retention strategies that will have a positive effect on PSEs currently assigned to Function 4.”

It also came to our attention that the Postal Service also released a stand-up talk on this survey. It is attached for your review.

The APWU is not agreement with this survey. The APWU’s position on this--and all management conducted surveys—is not to participate. The Industrial Relations Department in conjunction with the Clerk Division has demanded and is scheduled to meet with the Postal Service on this survey. The APWU will be once again voicing our opposition to management surveys and asserting that the APWU is the sole bargaining agent for all APWU represented bargaining unit employees, which includes Function 4 PSEs. The Postal Service cannot use surveys to circumvent the bargaining process, nor can they implement any changes based on this survey without negotiating with the APWU.

As more information is obtained it will be shared with the field.

Function Four Service Talk

February 12, 2021

Function Four Postal Support Employee (PSE) Survey

Function Four (F4) Postal Support Employee (PSE) Retention is an initiative seeking to gather information related to improving F4 PSE retention. The responses are only for analytical purposes and will not affect anyone’s standing within the organization. Results will be reported anonymously, compiled, reviewed and used when solutions are discussed.

The survey is voluntary and it will be sent to all F4 PSEs currently on the rolls with Postal emails and made available via an online link found here:

https://uspslndevalfedramp.gov1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0j6yIBlP6 NYftKR

PSEs are encouraged to complete the survey to provide feedback on their employment experience. If employees choose to participate in the survey, it must be completed by February 26. Function Four PSEs are to be provided 15 minutes on the clock to complete the survey. Postmasters and Managers are asked to provide the link to any PSE that does not utilize their Postal email or did not receive an email with the survey link. Please post this Service Talk.

Thank you for everything you do every day to provide the best customer experience in your delivery units.
