came in today and the parking lot was empty and the break area was empty too. i hit in , ate my lunch took a long nap and after waking up and looking around i hit out and went home. the question i ask is if an employee comes to work and does nothing all day does it still count???

Oh yeah it counts! EAS has always "done nothing" while on the clock. So yes....it counts.

i hear that!!! one area i walked by today had 2 supervisors and 2 fake supervisors ooops sorry 204bs. ha! talk about getting over. 4 sups to one area....

Is it true that the new dps flat sorters have arrived in Roch. N.Y.? If so will the flats be leaving Elmira soon?

roc has been SLATED to get them; no where near having them now. 2 "rumored" scenarios - start installing 6 mos from now (means they "might" be working next summer); or not until 2011

btw, what flats does elmira have now? small towns? doesn't roc do 'em all now anyway?

Elmira still has 6 dps machines. They also have 5 manual flat cases that they use every night. Still has a first class belt and a pallet belt that the mail handlers get alot of O.T. on.

Just heared Elmira N.Y. is going to excess 10 t0 13 mail handlers. Don't know how many clerks. Rumor has it they want the 6 dps machines gone within 6 months. Has anyone heard anything? Big transportation meeting on tuesday.

if your bp (or avp or whatever they're called these days) doesn't have answers, there's a link to the local pres here

I just heard the South Florida PDC is going to close. True? They have 700+ employees.wonder what will happen to them...

?-- Some people just LOVE starting rumors to get people upset. I wouldn't worry about it.

Large processing plants might be downsized but doubtfully closed. Less employees needed in a smaller plant so layoffs thru congressional repeal of the "less than 6 year" MOU, are likely.

Just got the word that 30 plus clerks will be excessed out of Elmira N.Y..

22 is half way thru. Wont be long now & retirement funding will be leaving skid marks.
Next is elimination of saturday delivery....that will be the "S" shape of the skid marks, then on to only one set of skid marks when layoffs start and the postal vehicle rolls over for the crash.

They tried to contract out custodians here in San Francisco BUT alot were veterans so they couldn't do it. So if you have alot of custodians in your facility then your safe but if not.....oh well. Just to add, Sat. delivery WILL be gone within the year.

Just my 2 cents worth, but I really have my doubts about going to 5days. I know Potter is REALLY fighting for it, but I'm not so sure congress will go along. We'll see.
