    7. we lose 707 million for the quarter but think buying GPS for vehicles is a good investment. I see where this is important — we travel so far from the office, we probably lose 20 cariers a day.

    8. Don’t forget all the money that was left on the table when the “we’re just lucky to have jobs”
    9 to 1 contingency voted to accept that worthless NALC contract.
    The PO has to spend that money somewhere.
    GPS, FSS the future’s so bright I gotta wear shades!

    9. I think GPS is a great idea,Cut back on the need for managment supervision on the street, while doing away with the s_ _ T bum carriers !!!!

    14. instead of spending money on gps why not spending some money on ac for the LLV last saturday inside my truck it shows 113 degrees, how long can a human being survive that temperature .is it safe according to osha standards. i would like to know.

    15. Oh boy, a whole new wave of fact findings and letter of warnings. I can see it now, a customer stops you for about 10 minutes with a flood of questions, the next day your in the office to explain an extra break.

    16. Track vehicles, hell they can’t even track all of their Exoress and Priority delivery confirmation. How will this improve anything

  16. Hawg on Mon, 2nd Jun 2008 11:52 am

    17. Next step will be to place MSP points in the Rest Room!

    18. The savings in overtime alone will pay for all of these in the first day.

    19. WHEN I STARTED IN THE POST OFFICE FIRST CLASS MAIL WAS FIVE CENTS AND WE DELIVERED BUSINESS ROUTES TWICE A DAY! THERE WAS NO OVERTIME!

    20. I STARTED AT 2 DOLLARS AND FORTY ONE CENTS AN HR!

    21. Why not invest in a tracking system to track our customers mail instead of the employees? Our customers want to know where their mail is, they know where their carrier is. UPS has a system that not only tracks product but it also lets paranoid managers keep track of drivers. It also has text messaging which has an amazing impact on service and productivity. They get it. How about an RFID chip service? If we continue to waste money on ridiculous programs that do nothing to improve service then we are doomed.

    22. Forklifts in bigger plants are being tracked the same way. The GPS lets them know if we have been idle, where we are, how much mail we have moved everything they need and want to know about what we do. NOt Good!!!!

  22. greg on Thu, 5th Jun 2008 10:31 am

    23. gee, i sure hope we have to keep hitting those scans too as the idiot managers watch our progress on the radar screens. i think i’ll try to qualify for a gps watcher job. do you get no doze as a perc for watching a screen for ten hours(overtime included)? gregg morrisville pa

    24. Let’s concentrate on customer service. With gas approaching or exceeding $4 per gallon, the USPS can ill afford to invest in another boondoggle. You all remember the electric vehicle con job that was sold to us back in the 80′s.

    25. Who is tracking the RTS priority parcels that are postmarked December 2007 and still waiting in containers to be returned? Who is tracking CFS mail that sits for a week to be forwarded? Can we just get back to keeping the mail moving?
    How about customer service? Hope I can retire before it goes down the toilet.

    26. IF EVERYONE HAD GOOD WORKING MORALS, NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WHAT THE UNION HAS TO OFFER, WORK HARD AS THEY DID TO GET THEIR JOB, MANAGE THEIR ROUTES WITH HONESTY, WE WOULDNT BE IN THIS SITUATION. THERE ARE ALOT OF GREAT CARRIERS WORKING HARD EVERYDAY, AND NOW HAVING TO PICK UP THE SLACK FOR THE ONES THAT (DESERVE THEIR PAYCHECK WITHOUT WORKING FOR IT) THE HARD WORKING CARRIERS ARE THE ONES WHO ARE SUFFERING.
    GPS? MSP’S? CPM’S? LETS HOLD PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE TO DOING THEIR JOBS! CARRIERS!! MANAGERS!!! ITS EVERYONE.

  28. goober on Tue, 10th Jun 2008 7:40 pm

    29. the 12 minute rule:
    12 minutes a day, 5 days a week, 2 hours per pay period, 52 hours per year, do nothing, that’s how we’ll save the po

  29. goober on Tue, 10th Jun 2008 7:41 pm

    30. Bushy screams in all CAPS he mustm be a real hard worker!
