To Postalvet: This Mike Barlow guy from Madison, is, or at least was Tour3 MDO, so how does an agreement with APWU have anything to do with him? I'm not saying you are wrong, I'm just wondering. THANKS!

Is there any one that is at the Madison, Wisconsin PO, that has any updates on Mike Barlow? I'm a retiree from the Madison PO, nad I'd like to know. The guy was not my favorite person. THANKS.

I thought spent was a PMR.

how did a casual get to be an oic?
spent, your story changes every day.

spent, sorry you are a casual. you have no contract protections. you can file a EEO (equal employment opportunity)and/or go with the MSPB (merit systems protection board).

but trying to fight these bastards is not easy and could cost you more money in the long run.

POSTAL VET! I am a casual in a non duty pay status, I do not have collective bargaining rights, do I have ANY rights? Do you know? HELP?????

Paper dicrepencies, OIG thought money was missing, it was not. I have been through pre disciplinary meeting, with no conclusion except two offers to resign....why? I have done no intentional wrong?

NETWORK DISTRIBUTION CENTERS. USPS REVAMPS BMC NETWORK TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCIES. Postal Service plans to realign its bulk mail center (BMC) network and transform it into a three-tier system of Network Distribution Centers (NDCs) have begun. Explaining the new system to business mailers attending the National Postal Forum last week, Senior Vice President of Operations Bill Galligan said Phase I began earlier this month in the Northeast corridor, with the Springfield and Philadelphia BMCs becoming Tier 1 sites, and the New Jersey BMC becoming a Tier 2 site. Outgoing volume from the Springfield and Philadelphia BMCs is sent directly to the New Jersey BMC for consolidation, processing and dispatch. The concept will be tested for 12 weeks and then evaluated before rolling out Phase II. Galligan said this will allow USPS to consolidate the processing of originating mail into fewer sites to increase efficiency and reduce transportation costs, while expanding the surface transportation reach for more products. The new network — when fully implemented — will include:

Eleven Tier 1 NDC facilities which will process and distribute local and destination Standard Mail, periodicals and package services.
Six Tier 2 facilities which will perform all Tier 1 activities, plus distribution of outgoing Standard Mail, periodicals and package services into the network.
Four Tier 3 facilities which will perform all the Tier 1 and Tier 2 functions and act as a consolidation point for less-than-truckload volumes from Tier 2 sites.
With the volume decline and changes in the mail mix, much of the mail the 21 BMCs used to process has gone away. Even before the downturn in the economy, mailers were drop shipping mail directly to the delivery units, bypassing the BMCs entirely. The Network Distribution Center concept was developed to reduce excess capacity to match workload, consolidate operations, increase transportation efficiency, and reduce costs. This transformation will keep the BMC facilities viable.

I believe you mean "Emergency Procedure" not "placement".

article 16.7 of the APWU agreement.
Section 7. Emergency Procedure
An employee may be immediately placed on an off-duty
status (without pay) by the Employer, but remain on the rolls
where the allegation involves intoxication (use of drugs or
alcohol), pilferage, or failure to observe safety rules and
regulations, or in cases where retaining the employee on
duty may result in damage to U.S. Postal Service property,
loss of mail or funds, or where the employee may be injurious
to self or others. The employee shall remain on the rolls (non
pay status) until disposition of the case has been had. If it is
proposed to suspend such an employee for more than thirty
(30) days or discharge the employee, the emergency action
taken under this Section may be made the subject of a
separate grievance.
