Nobody is talking about those who have been healed and returned to their routes after this process started. Hmm, it is a miracle.

The nrp is not only for carriers,Its for all injured on the job,those working on sorting machines,with very high tru put quotas.Some injuries are neck and spine damage,calling for operations that may peralize,or cripple you.Its not all carpal tunnel.

In 33 yrs. with the P.O. I’ve seen carriers slightly injured that NEVER HEALED. List of their injuries: paper cut on their finger, sprained ankle, back hurt because of lifting parcels, shoulder hurt(satchel too heavy), arm & shoulder hurts(closing & opening vehicle door)foot hurt can’t walk(postal shoe was the reason).
Some carriers REALLY get hurt and some are just
FAKING it.

Mike Richards played a contact sport at the highest possible level (NHL PLAYOFFS) with 2 seperated shoulders. We have employees who cant put up box mail because they sprained thier shoudler, back, knee, ass etc 5 years ago. I understand people get hurt but at some point your body heals.

I am a injured employee,in my facility I was told to stop working and sent into a room for 7 hours,told not to read,eat or even have a drink of water,when I went to the restroom,my supervisor and her able body croonies were sitting were I was working talking, eating, reading.This has become common place in my plant,lock us up in a room to give the impression there is no work available for the injured so lazy able bodies can goof off.

You people are all a bunch of FOOLS!!
NALC is doing something to help the fired carriers. A lawsuit is going through the courts right now.
The PO is breaking Federal Law.
It doesn’t matter if you agree with that law or not. They are required to provide work for these people.
If you let the PO get rid of injured employees, next they go after the HEALTHY employees!!
You may be next to be terminated!
WAKE UP!!

Perhaps the NALC could “help” management in this endeavor just like the interim route adjustments
