kc clerk, don't know about Martinez but the new 'acting plant manager' is a Gregory Pobuda out of Minneapolis, MN. our plant manager broke his ankle or something... unclear. and yes, i heard we are only getting about 40 clks out of 140-150. the others will be excessed to other facilities around the area. i know one thing though... the mh's and clk's are hoping that the OT continues... it's a circus right now at the plant. a lot more mail coming in.... Ron Mc Gaha has been on the scene for almost a month making a lot of the managers nervous... i like that guy :).

Isn't Martinez the one the kicked out of Egan MN some years back, for being a dumb ass?

I too, have been recieved a letter stating that I will be excessed out of my current level 7 positon. In the meeting, I was told if I did not bid, I would be placed into a carrier position as far as 400 miles away and I would lose all of my 16 years of bidding seniority because I would be in a diffrent craft, so I bidded to a level 6 position. Before I even left my current postion it was placed up for bid with the days off changed. I used to really like and respect the postal service but now I am too mad that I had to give up my job to another employee with higher seniority.

I started in 74. In 76 when the first lsm's started arriving I was told that I would be excessed if I didn't go to another craft. I called their bluff and stayed manual untill 2008 when I retired. I am SO glad I didn't blink and go to the mail handlers. I would be getting less retirement now if I had.

'Retired Old Clerk'

Just think how many dumbass stupidviosrs/managers you and I have seen over the years that started on the LSM as clerks.

Bet Potter worked on the LSM, and that would explain his total stupidity, and lack of knowledge on what makes things work properly.

Potter started out as a handler,that would explain the inheritant stupidity of the MH craft.

Wopony

Mr. Wong--you're WRONG about Potter, his bio says he started out as a Clerk in New York in 1978. No biggie, but you must be a self-important clerk too!

I only have one suggestion for you clerks. Buy comfortable walking shoes as carrying mail is not a walk in the park!

Postalized,are you talking about the mail clerks will be carrying from the FSS machines to dispatch.You know,the DPS'ed flats?If you are,then what will happen to all carriers(including clerks with sometimes 20 or 25 years who transfer to carrier).

Two wongs dont make a white.

Postalized
Theyz gonna git shitcanned like a wong.

I notice HR has made visits to each pay location twice encouraging clerks and mail handlers to look at switching to the carrier craft.So,indeed,something is up.
