Step 4 Settlement When Management Back Flows Mail Impacting a Mail Count

This case involved management putting out instructions to back flow mail from the office to the plant to put the mail in DPS just prior to a mail count. Immediately following the mail count further instructions went out instructing the offices to no longer back flow mail to the plant. The parties agree that dependent on a number of factors, when not back flowing mail could increase the amount of mail rural carriers are required to process manually. The case has been remanded to step 3 to determine if there was an adverse impact and if so, the appropriate remedy.

rural carriers caught doing ANYTHING to manipulate the mail count are fired. managers need to be fired, not transferred, demoted , promoted, retired—– but FIRED and arrested, indicted, tried, find guilty and go to a nasty jail with bubba, kwame, and jorge as cell “buddies”

They have stopped letting me work on the RDWL and have sent me home after 4 hours. The only reason we are over is because we have been waiting 2 hours after leave time for parcels.

You can read about dps review procedures in po 603 I think it was section 545

That’s why I’m having a DPS REVIEW on my route, they count your letters for 2 weeks and if the percentage of raw letters to DPS is less than at count they pay you raw letter time for all your DPS, my route will increase 6 hours
