I was wondering if anyone out here could give me correct info on bereivment(spellcheck)leave when one's mother in-law passes away. If I have a spouse, and her mother passes away, can I get that kind of leave from the usps? If anyone out there can give me the true explanation of what it says in the contract, that would be helpful. And, can you please put it in laymen's terms. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I work at a level 22 post office in VA. Mgmt is cutting the PTF's hours and giving overtime to clerks on the OTDL before maxing us out at 40 hours for the week. Mgmt is also working them on their NS day but under 8 hours before giving the hours to us at a straight time rate. I know there is a 8 hour guarantee for them working their NS day. Is there reference material and can a grievance be filed. Please help me remedy this situation ASAP. Mgmt is creating a very hostile work envirnomnet among craft employees.

I have two comp cases. Both are spinal. I was progressing and the doctor disallowed chiropractor treatments, however, I have had to leave work two times once for each condition and had to pay on my own. After the one case flair up, I saw my dr. and he ignored me, then when I saw him in three more months, he said I reached mmi and was able to lift 50 pounds! And the day afterwards, I had low back crumble and had to return to chiro which I had to pay. I think I need a new dr as he is pushing me to get this new bid that I know is easier than my job I do now, but he is still not doing right thing by me by increasing weight and not allowing more treatments when I know I can get better. What should I do?

I am not very familiar with the state of Colorado and I was thinking of maybe moving to Durango, Colorado. I do not know where Durango is located. Can someone let me know which general mail facility or P&DC location is near Durango? My email address is sherrie67@hotmail.com

I am a newly reassigned T-6 window clerk. I suffered injuries while on active duty military, and as a result I was given the choice of becoming a clerk or "Get Out". Nice people, huh. The USPS slapped restrictions on me that you wouldn't believe. But I think that I have an EEO complaint. I need to speak with ANYONE who was injured on Active Duty. My e-mail address is rdepalma3@yahoo.com. Please help. Thanks.

How often can the postal service use their 1 hour start time adjustment to adjust your schedule. For example I start at 8 am and they want me to come in at 7 am. How many times can they change it back and forth to say for example next week want me to start at 8:30 am.
