    2. Even if you are a long way from Columbus, Ohio, every one in every craft should be concerned. For all you know, you might be next!

    3. This Is undoubtably due to incompetant managers! Let the craft set on there asses while you contract out there jobs or just don’t do anything If this was A real company managers would have been fired!!

    6. Why can’t the postal service correct it mistakes in the last 10 years. IE: Paying the carrier a one step upgrade to take DPS to the street. How dump is that.!!! Now if they had a brain they would let the carriers cup the mail and case all of it. This would save approx. 1 million DOLLARS A DAY A DAY GET IT A DAY. This would also save approx one MILLION DOLLAR A DAY

This would also save approx one MILLION DOLLAR A DAY in fuel cost. They want to do the same dump thing with Flat mail in the future. Another dump thing that is not cost effective. We want less street time and more in house time to prepare the mail for deliver. HELOO some one wake up. Thank YOU Ray

    9. Don’t blame the Union! Many workers do not want to work, only collect a pay check. They like it when mgmt or causuals do their jobs. I should know, I work with a bunch of employees who whine all day and give reasons why they can’t work. They never report any crossing craft incindents to the union or sign a witness statement. The job you save just might be your own!
