Union Member, seen nothing but fog the last couple of days. Was told it was in the 80's last week.
I had an interesting conversation with a Seminary student right near the steps of St. Peter. May have turned this kid into a heathen! I asked him a few questions he couldn't answer.
He asked, which faith I belonged? I told him I was an agnostic and he followed up with, " do I believe that Jesus as the savior"? I said no!
Immaculate conception is a hard to swallow story I told him. You got a God that coveted another man's bethroth. You got a God that impregnated a 12-13 year old girl. It was getting Too deep and wife was nudging me to leave. This student wasn't offended and I told him good luck in being either a Bishop, Cardinale or Pope in the future. He said to remember giving him a call when he reach that level. Shit, I'll be dead by then I told him. He had a good laugh on that!
Yes, I did all the Vatican things. Quite impressive with the glory of God worshipping and of Christians and what people will do to hopefully get to heaven.

MH ISC - Ah Roma, wonderful place, rather is was in 68 when I took and R&R there, people were great, food really good.
You got to get down to Tucson with us the last week in Oct, especailly when they have the "day of the dead celebration and parade" 2 mile walk, thru down town, and all you can eat at the end. Really a wonder evening.
If you haven't been to the Vatican, go, its a must go trip regardless of your personal convictions. I really enjoyed my visit there and being on R&R from the Nam, we got blessed by some high ranking Cardinal, long forgot his name.

Union Member, currently I am in Rome Italy. May Day here and transportation is a bitch. Many of the routes are not running a full schedule and many places are closed or closing early. Got kicked out of Colosseo at 2:00 p.m. Imagine building a building just to watch people killing each either. It was quite crowded he day before to see the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel. Are we glad, to plan ahead and gotten tickets early. Walk passed those 3 hours wait and got escorted to the door. May Day, or should I say Labour Day in Europe. Can't figure out why America has it in September. Shouldn't the world join in unity to celebrate or protest together? Got wifi in place I'm staying so checking email and few websites. Good fishing to ya! Edited 05-03-2013 12:40 AM

ISC MH & Top Dog - For several years now I have tried to explain the problems with the LMOUs that our Branches have. Especially since senior mail handlers could and would be excessed before junior mail handlers because of the way the LMOU was written. It may not be right, but that's the way it is, and filing a grievance is useless cause Arbitrators will deny the grievance based on the LMOU which is a very solid part of our National Agreement. Now the struggle with retreat rights. I will be willing to bet that if senior mail handlers were excessed before junior mail handlers based on their LMOU, the Junior Mail Handler will still maintain their position regardless of retreat rights in returning the excessed senior mail handler to their previous facility. It's going to boil down to grievances and arbitration.
For those dummies who have still not opened their LMOU under Article 30. Made the necessary changes, this same shit will, without doubt raise it nasty head and screw over senior mail handlers again.
As far as who gets voted in, it depends on the Vote, which most mail handlers care not to do. Better at bitching than voting.
AZ's was great, got the house in order, played with the grand kids, now back in NC catching up on yard work, getting the pool ready for the summer.
As of 42 minutes ago, I am no longer a Steward at Large for the Branch I retired from. And no, it's not 305.
For those of us who started prior to 1980, we can see the trend of the mail processing and delivery going back to same centers, schedules prior to the 1982 expansion, it didn't frigging work then and with all the automation it sure as hell won't work now. All the new FFS's will break the back of the postal service, and there are also modifications in the process to correct the problems. But as usual, the modificaton will not intergrate into the orginal FFS, just like the AFSM-100 and the AFSM -100 AI. Many jobs will be save because of upper level stupidity who refuse to abandon a loosing cause that they dreamed up and are still trying to justify or champion.
Remember one fact about Mail Handlers, "Mail Handlers are their own worst enemy" It's the way it's been, It's the way it's now, and shall be in the future unless the bitching stops, and we stand shoulder to shoulder, showing support for the Union as a whole,
Have a Bless day, and I will be on the boat in 5 hours heading out the inlet to do some serious salt water fishing around the Frying Pan Shoals.

Its time to remove Richard Sui and Vote Ernie Grijalva out of office.Northbay and Stockton have been impacted offices since 2011. Under the provision of ARTICLE 12 they were supposed to withhold all residuals jobs for the impacted employees to minimize the impacted. They got into bed with Management and recycled the residual bid jobs to get PTF conversions which is alreadey going to happen. Now the impacted Mail Handlers from NB have to go all the way to Los Angles. Ernie and Richard gave up our jobs for votes it made me sick to see Sammy in Reno stroking Ernie for screwing us over. Its time for change in Local 302. Edited 04-24-2013 12:06 PM

To post 12680. It must have been his son because fernando was not in office for three days this week. Either way fernando is done in Stockton and in Sac. I heard what happened at the branch meeting Ernie put both fernando and ed in check. None of them are going to go where they want like ernie says its his choice where they go.

Cuda 318: Yup, And that's what we have in Grand Rapids (by Tour). Detroit NDC didn't. All this was done before Kister or Haggarty were Presidents. The LMOU could have been opened up under Kister but wasn't. When Haggarty got in the wheels of management was already moving. All in All I think the Local 307 Executive Board and Officiers did a fine job minimizing the harm to the members affected. There is still greivances on some issues. Like they brought in casuals to cover for those who were excessed? So if this is won in arbritration then those excessed should get displacement pay.

DC Club M12670: You acknowledge that the LMOU was by section and when excessing was done it was done by section. The senior employees were in that section and got excessed out. Is it not also correct that all those who had retreat rights have either come back or stayed where they were excessed? Or went to the Metroplex?
Then you rant on about Haggarty's failure as a State Rep. But who was the Local 'Full Time' President? Don Kister. Who is suppose to represent the members per the President is not available? How about the Vice President. Who was that? Steve Patricelli. So why not bash Steve and Don for failure that you place on Haggarty. At least Haggarty got some of those excessed into Grand Rapids. Don't you think this is profound?
