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

? 551
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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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....

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

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???

Interesting that there is now a forum/topic on "Plants Closings".

It's a sign.

The Postal Service has become what we have talked about as a "dying breed". The pony express no longer exists and so will the postal service. If you had not considered another career with less than ten (10) years in the postal service, it is time to do so.

i heard today that the dps machines should be leaving in the next few months. Has any one heard about this?
