Jack Cass,
But management did pull his bid from him when he failed the scheme that they assigned him. While he was training for the assigned job he bid another job and was awarded it pending qualifications. Then he failed the scheme from his original assignment and they pulled his bid, which he is grieving (and we know he will get his "bid job" back once he passes the scheme he was assigned). But the catch is now another job was posted and he wants to bid that. He is in removal status with 10 days left. He, the Local Union Vice President and the Postmaster had a meeting on friday because he is a Veteran and he is most definitly in a removal status. all of us are blown away at this too. We never thought they woiuld actually remove someone for failing a scheme but it legit check the M5 434.2 "Failure to qualify". Typically management doesnt remove employees for scheme failures but I think its "personal" you can tell they dont like him. Thats why he wants to know if he can be assinged a job, bid another (have it taken away for faling), and then bid another job in a new bid cycle (while in removal status). He wants to try anything he can to try and buy some more time so he wants to bid something else. I know its confusing

Jack Cass /m2848 -- thanks for info. I am a city carrier, and we fill residual vacancies by placing the junior unassigned in the job. I assumed that other crafts were the same. I must admit I don't see the logic for forcing the more senior person.

egark: No, the SENIOR is assigned.

PE.S: They cannot remove for failure to qualify on a scheme in an arbitrary assignment. And yes, we can bid if we are pending removal per JCIM and numerous step 4 agreements.

PE.S /m2846 -- you missed the point: why was the senior unassigned placed in the job? It should be the junior.

nobody bid it

PE.S /m2844 -- why was the senior unassigned regular assigned to the residual job?

I have a "bidding" question. We had a "unassigned regular" get assigned a job bid because he was the most senior Unassiged Regular. He has failed the scheme and is currently in a 30 day termination status. When he was assinged this job he bid a job and was awarded pending qualifications, but when he failed his assigned job and went into termination status they pulled his bid becasue they said he cant be in termination status and be holding another bid that he is not qualified for (he is grieving that). But to make it more complicated another job became availble and now he has bid that job to. So does anyone know if he is allowed to bid on a job when he is in termination status and has never qualified on the original job that management originally assigned him????? I'm sure management will say he cant be assigned one job, grieving another job and bid another while in termination status. Anyone know of any regulations on this???

Howdy Everyone!

    We have an employee in our office that is pregant with twins. The Doc told her she could not work anymore. She still has to Jan Before the kids are born. Her problems is she used her leave for everything. She is a regular employee so she will not be earning anymore A/L this year. So she is soon to be out of leave which means LWOP. She was told that If she was given LWOP that the Postal Service will still pay her Insurance Premium and then recoop it back when she comes back to work. Any truth to this? If so is it automatic? Thanks in advance for all your wisdom

...any body part?!?

nah! I wouldn't go there...

yes example you can put a thermometer or any body part or object in either orifice

Do you mean the sounds or the anatomical positions?

"only my mouth and my anus emit sounds"

are they interchangeable?

bad karma and bad french
avant de parler en Français, il faut le savoir ! une jambe est du genre féminin so you must say une jambe françaisE.
furthermore a leg doesn't SPEAK
only my mouth and my anus emit sounds
et j'ai le droit de parler de MERDE if I want to.
We live in a free country ----except the moment you enter postal property.
You must show the example to all the stupidvisors that are exempt from obeying the US laws.
