our office just got a letter from the president of the union that states in an agreement between unions/management all carriers will be told personally if a gps unit is installed in their vehicle and all vehicles that have a gps unit installed must be posted at the time clock for everyone to know about.

Because rural are not craft, per se. They are technically "contractors", since they get paid evaluated time and not hourly.

/m30843 GLOBAL POSITIONING SATELLITE (GPS)
M-01705 USPS Letter
May 15, 2009
Is a response to a letter from Director of City Delivery Dale Hart asking about the installation of Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) systems in postal vehicles. The May 15, 2009 letter states, “there is no nationwide implementation plan of GPS devices.” Additionally, when GPS devices are installed in delivery units, city carriers will be advised in advance of the installation and the vehicles which will receive GPS.

I found what I think is a gps unit in my llv. I looked up under the instrument panel while laying on the floor and saw a box about 4 inches square and had wires that looked brand new in contrast to the old looking wiring. Has anyone looked and found something like this?

Does this make sense. I get my 60 notice to be excessed(about a month ago) and I found out today that the TE got a VERBAL NOTICE(which according to the TE expired yesterday) (his contract runs out in March) from the PM OR thats what the PM IS TELLING my union rep. looking for any help with any info on that. thank you

salt to the 204B--Pull down your pants hunny.You'll go far you whore.

That is exactly what I have been complaining about.The mailhandler that couldn't make it as a clerk came to a carrier position.ptf but still.I am a ptf.And very mad.Why are WE paying union dues? Shouldn't the clerks and mailhandlers be paying their dues to the NALC? after all,That is who they are helping isnm't it? We as ptf carriers are getting no where, and I was told that I will never see full time.Well,theres a clerk sleeping with the postmaster and now,while he is out doing somekind of brown nosing,field work,She is now his relief.There are rumors flying around everywhere.Isn't there something that can be done?Another Postmaster is also sleeping around with another clerk that I know of.I will never get anywhere in the Postal service because I am not a prostitute.And the postal service will get shut down because this kind of behavior does not fly.

Why is it that everyone is being excessed into city carrier positions? Why can't clerks take rural carrier spots or mail handlers? Why is the city carrier or PTF always the one to get the raw deal?

The PMG deserves to be bashed You can't ask anyone to support shooting themselves in the foot or stupidity. Ask any employee and most of the changes that he is making are back firing and making things worse. If you do away with Saturday UPS and FedEX will have every opportunity to start operating full time on the weekends. Get a real business man in there with a business education and VP's with real experience with carrying the mail and dealing with the customers and come up with a business plan that will work right now and in the future. He is just throwing his hands down at everything the USPS offers now and not trying to improve it but just trying to get rid of everything. Seems like they are only looking at cutting cost instaed of making money. The customers are complaining more than ever about how long they have to stand in line because of lack of clerks. What sense does it make to make bulk mailers drive miles out of their way to drop off mail when the same truck that picks up from the office that they had to pass by could have picked it up? My opinion, USPS needs a new PMG! All I've seen are a lot of unrealistic, stupid, and stick it to the employees moves being made by this guy.

Roadrunner /m30835 - Equal? No, not exactly. Since the unions stopped negotiating together, the pay scales have diverged a bit due to variations in the contracts such as percentages of increases and lump sums. A level CC2 carrier makes a little more than a level 6 clerk at the same step.

CC1 or Level 1 used to be Level 5, CC2 or Level 2 used to be Level 6. So T6s are actually now T2s.

egark, does CC1 equal a level 6 ? Level 6 was were I was when I was active. When I first started, we were level 5.

Does anyone know how to delete a transfer request post?

/m30830 It has been like 5 years since it changed to Level 1 & 2.

/m30832 Yeah, right.

What if there are no carriers to be excessed into that vacant T-6 string?
