when ever management comes up with a program its for their benefit,take QwL for example .errps is just another QWL. They get the union to go along then when things dont go their way they come up with the blueroom they should have called it the rubber room because those union members are getting SCREWED!!

earp does that mean we dont have to work or does that mean we dont have to be responsable for our own actions.

There is one of these “specialist” on detail for the last 3 or 4 years getting higher level and doing NOTHING! What a cushy gig, hide in a locked office, publish a newsletter once a month and earn 60,000 a year!

Where do I sign up?

GO Brother GO! Its about time a union official took affirmative action against management. What makes them think they can abuse their authority and misuse a union represented employee? I am a 19yr APWU member and I need you to channel some of that hutspa to Dallas. I stand with you against official oppressors. GO Brother GO!

Management does try to “curve”around MANY safety/health concerns, especially where we work in the NY L&DC. Anytime a 1767 is filed, they come running arms raised, but do they ever settle or correct the said problem? Maybe for a short period but then it goes back to the same crap. Good for you Mr. Delgado for taking a stand, management needs to be put in their place, this is just one of the “MANY” areas where they over step there bounds.

I am a MailHandler on Tour 3 at Morgan and have been working here for 27 years without a write up. I am a Union member for 30. I support you and support getting out of ERRP….. Management is NOT on our side we should not be working with them!

It’s about the employees well being but Willie Delgado
has turned it into a political game. You see,the reason Willie Delgado
wanted to have the union members in the commision is to create pressure on management if the mail handler union doesn’t get what they want. Consider this scenario:
Willie Delgado wants to reduce the penalty for his member from termination to 7 days suspension,the USPS barks.Willie Delgado tells his members in the ERRP commission to write up everything so the OSHA will come down to investigate.
Secondly,Willie Delgado would send his stewards to be on the commission,these stewards never worked on the floor and clueless about how to improve ERRP.

Great!!
If you don’t stop the nonsense as soon as you see it, it becomes something that keeps on going because they think we’re sleeping.
The entire ERRP process has come to a standstill at most places, (including my facility in Queens)..
If we can’t be in a process that we can show a strong force and enforce procedures to help our members, then discard it. If management feels cocky enough to want to tell us who we should have representing us, then we have no choice but to close ranks and tell them where to get off.
As my Dad likes to say… We a run dem…dem no run we.

Congrats on sending the right, strong message Willie.

Once again Local 300 leads the way!
Hopefully other locals will follow as well as the other unions who are involved in EERPS
