I think the problem is that we don't feel sure enough about ourselves or about our position until we get to a certain point in life. Until then we don't stand up to the bullies, darn shame you can't teach self confidence.

I believe you are correct, DianeCo. Some of us are older now, with our families out on their own.

 I can retire now and have plenty of self confidence to stand up to the bully in my office, an OIC who is a woman. She is bent on destroying the clerk position in my post office. I can't respect myself if I don't stand up to her.

Unless past practice indicates otherwise, clerk hours must be distributed as evenly as possible over the course of a pay period. If he is punishing you by giving you less hours than others then grieve.

APWU is filing a class action grievance regarding shifting work to postmasters in the smaller offices. Make sure you get the grievance filed so you get your piece of the pie when they lose the class action.

retired in oct under CSRS and only a partial payment. was told it would be march or april before pension would be complete. this is why the usps saved $$$$$, they aren't paying like they should.

/m4649 you have not been Reading the retirement forums. The post office has NOTHING to do with retired postal employees!! You are now under the office of personal management OPM. the post office has paid for all of your retirement benefits and of the yet to retire CSRS people. you are now paid out of the united states treasury.

You are on interim payments until OPM can make sure the post office gave OPM the correct information. once you are finalized you will receive ALL monies due you.

honeybe /m4649 -- along with what postalvet said: if you are CSRS then you had many years in the post office. How can someone work that long and not know how something as important as retirement works? This is the kind of stuff that drives stewards crazy.

egark/m4651 Do you know what should really make the stewards crazy? The fact that when I retired, it left not one single clerk in the office I left. Where once there had been 4 clerks, now there are 3 RCAs doing all the clerk work. I fought tooth and nail daily when I was still working for clerk hours and was treated like crap by my PM and fellow workers in the office. I jumped at the VER for that reason. The PM won and got an office with no clerks and RCAs willing to do whatever just to get hours.

fers gets only part of the pension but not one thing from the supplemental
fers = usps + supplemental so this means 450.00 for 6 months stewards should tell fers personel before is too late

Am I required to use my pov when sent to training or an AO? The traveling could be anywhere from 50 to over 100 miles extra drive time on those days. I am a FTR, not a hub clerk.

Thank you for your time.

just a quick question. I have FMLA coverage for a chronic medical problem. My doctor has it written and I was approved for up to 2 flare ups a month 1-4 days per flare up. with that being said - I jsut called off - and am on my 3rd day of a call off - and my supervisor wants me to bring in documentation for said call off....
my question is... do I have to go back to the doctor at my expense just to get peperwork to return back to work? I thought that was what my FMLA paperwork was for!?
thanks to anyone that can help me sort it out... as I can not get back into my doctors until Thursday the 11th!!! sut do not like htis hanging over my head when I had a hard enough time getting the FMLA in!

Can these people be any dumber. USPS wanted to save money with a consolidation. They miscalculated the mail volume and now we are getting penalty time every day , full tour V time. This has been going on for months.They are now talking about mandating us to work our days off. I don't even know if they can do that.
