President Young addresses early out rumors:
"There are many rumors on the Internet about a pending early out
for letter carriers. I have been advised that the USPS has
requested permission to have a VERA for letter carriers and
expects an answer at the end of this month. Until the Office of
Personnel Management has acted upon that request, it is premature
to discuss any early out options. We will continue to monitor the
situation and will alert our members as soon as OPM has acted on
the USPS' request."
These grievances are for ALL offices
under Branch 43 jurisdiction.
There has been 5 grievances filed concerning the
March 8
th
Snow Day.
1. Employees who worked partial day.
2. Employees who did not report to work.
3. Employees who were to work their non scheduled
day.
4. Safety – Employees instructed to report to
work in lieu of a Level 3 Snow Alert.
5. Safety – Interpretive of what is a Level 3
Snow Alert.
Watch this site for future updates, but remember the wheels of the
grievance process runs very slow when we have to rely on management’s
cooperation and the Grievance/Arbitration process. Please be patient.
We started working on this the same Saturday it snowed.
