The USPS unlawfully threatened and interrogated a mail carrier after he asserted his right not to work more than 60 hours a week

The U.S. Postal Service unlawfully threatened and interrogated a mail carrier after he asserted his contractual right not to work more than 60 hours in a workweek, resulting in a constructive discharge in the form of a resignation, in violation of the NLRA.

The NLRB upheld the findings of the administrative law judge that the US Postal Service not only failed to recognize the mai carrier’s contractual rights in terms of working hours but also threatened him with discipline, discharge and criminal prosecution after his refusal to work more hours during the week.
