To bad no one is watching the PM especially in Freeport Post office where they have lost several law suits and Federal as well but if the Post office's around the Country stopped ridicules harassment of employee's that have to be settled in Court ,They probably save Millions of dollars in that alone

You carriers with dps flats.....must they be taken to the road, or can they be case? I have found no MOU which clarifies the issue

Of course you are a "sub" Robin. When taking an aux route you make an election of whether you want to run the aux route 6 days a week, or 5-days a week while remaining the "sub of record" on another route.
I sense you are having a dispute with the PM as to whether or not you can sub on other routes instead of the aux to make more money.

Hi, i cannot seem to get a straight answer to this question. I have an aux route and am also a sub for a full time rural carrier. My PM is telling me I am really noy allowed to be a sub, is she correct?

So the PRC makes it's "long awaited" decision on five day delivery... and DOESN'T offer an opinion....
PRC issues advisory opinion on ending Saturday delivery
The Postal Regulatory Commission has issued its long awaited advisory opinion on the US Postal Service’s proposal to do away with Saturday delivery. The opinion doesn’t make a yes or no recommendation, but in 211 pages of testimony and analysis, suggests that some of the postal service’s estimates of cost savings are over-estimated, while service impacts are sometimes under-stated.
Key findings of the Commission’s Opinion include:
* The Commission’s annual net savings estimate is $1.7 billion.
o The Postal Service’s savings estimate is $3.1 billion.
* Full savings in either case would likely not be achieved until year three after implementation.
* The Commission’s estimate of net revenue losses due to volume declines caused by the service cuts is $0.6 billion.
o The Postal Service estimate of net revenue losses is $0.2 billion.
* The planned changes would cause an average of 25 percent of First-Class and Priority mail to be delayed by two days.
* The Postal Service did not evaluate the impact of the proposal on customers who reside or conduct business in rural, remote, and non-contiguous areas.
-------------------------
Can you imagine the hundreds of thousands of dollars absolutely WASTED on "211 pages of testimony" and the barnstorming trip across the country to come up with nothing?
And that's besides the fact that the final say is up to lawmakers, not Donahue, not the PRC.
What's even more amazing is that the USPS' future is the hands of first year lawmakers who still cling to the belief that the USPS is funded by taxpayers!
I simply see no help for the USPS as it seeks to self implode. The APWU takes a huge step backwards if it ratifies its deal, which would effectively have senior members sell out everyone who comes after them... all for a few extra bucks in their pocket.
Retirement cannot come soon enough!

I wish more carriers WOULD post here. That's why I set it up. But for whatever reason I wasn't able to post the link on the other boards... like the one Wakefield doesn't pay a whole lot of attention to.
When someone posts here I know about it. Trust me any trolls who slip through the cracks are going to have their jibberish deleted typically within the same minute they post it.
It's hard to get people to change though.
doug in illinois ... I don't know off hand how the resident troll on Wakefield's boards was able to duplicate your name with the star... he recently did it with someone else as well. But for whatever reason he hasn't been able to do it with mine.
The first difference I noticed was that there are no spaces in my name, whereas there are in the two names I've seen him recently duplicate.
Wakefield's boards are pretty much worthless. Seems like everytime I check I find 15-30 more fake pabak posts back to back to back. It would be one thing if this jerk ever offered serious opinions or at the very least was remotely funny.
But it's all grade school garbage and he lives for it.
Postal Texan, in contrast to Wakefield (who is postal management) does a fantastic job of policing her board. I hope for the sake of everyone involved, quick topic is able to track that loser down through the IP info she has supplied them and shut him out.
In the meantime, invite your friends here. I'd love to just concentrate in a troll free atmosphere for a change.

I have COMPLETELY given up on the rural carrier board on Tom's site. Some one has even somehow hijacked my handle. I just want you to know it isn't me.
I hope they don't find this also. DOUG

manOman... Monday's address by Prez Obama will likely tell us quite a bit about the USPS henchmen plans for the immediate future. Obama has apparently let it be known that he is going to grant the USPS "substantial relief," in that address.
I, of course, have no idea what amount that "relief" will be, but you have to believe it's going to involve the pre-funding requirement. I don't think an announcement that they would push this year's $5 billion plus pre-funding payment back would bode well for anyone.
Monday is D-day for sure.

Saw this article about 5-day delivery this morning on PT's site:
http://deadtreeedition.blogspot.com/2011/0...cs-decision-is.html
<clip>
The Postal Service would not need to end Saturday delivery if the budget lifts the two anchors weighing down USPS's finances -- what are euphemistically referred to as prepaid retiree benefits and overpayments for pensions. If those two Postal Service subsidies of the federal government (that's right, the Postal Service has been bailing out the federal government, not vice-versa) were corrected, the Postal Service would be profitable.
============================================
Hopefully, the truth about postal finances will replace the "we're losing $285 Billion" B.S. that postal management has been feeding the press.

I don't want to short change them. They also suck down doughnuts and discuss for hours where they are going for lunch and who is driving. All of that takes time.

fatboy... nice to have you here. Did the carriers in question use their own vehicles and receive mileage pay or were they instructed to do this out of the kindness of their hearts?
I guess the moral of the story is to inspect their case before leaving for sleepers and anything they bring back should be tossed at the hot case. Unless it was a sleeper management has no idea where the letter came from. Most of our carriers hit the road before I do, therefore missorts weren't discovered until after they left.
The same morons who came up with your policy are the one's making $60,000 to $80,000 a year to sit around and do nothing...except suck down java and surf porn sites on the web.

In our office three carriers have had to make second trips to deliver one letter each that were sleepers. No pay because carriers were failures. These carriers collectively drove over 30 miles. What moron would direct a carrier to do this? Very cost effective. I think since Rep Issa who is in charge of postal appropriations should hear of this gigantic stupidy. Some postal exec probably got a pay for performance payment for this nonsensical stupidity Edited 01-13-2011 08:36 AM
