I saw what is still my favorite bumber sticker a few years back. It read “PAY ATTENTION, YOU SHOULD BE OUTRAGED!!”. You combine this with ‘THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN A CONTRADICTING AUTHORITY, FOR A CONTRADICTING AUTHORITY IS NO AUTHORITY AT ALL’, an ‘age-old’ cliche’, and this, well, I’M afraid to say. The totally corrupt ‘powers that be’ would probably find some corrupt excuse to have me locked up or even executed for being ‘bottom-line’ TRUTHFULL/HONEST.

The people in this country seriously need a ‘reality-check’. Can’t ‘see’ the forest for the trees. Whole lotta ‘smoke-blowin’ goin’ on with these ‘slags’ so-called-’in charge’ of the USPS. Bunch of LIARS and THEIVES, stealing of honest workers livelyhoods earned thru years of REAL hard work and sweat, while they sit on their can in an air conditioned office all day, ‘gouging’ evaluation sheets, etc. I’ve wittnessed, ’cause they don’t want to actually ‘do’ the evaluation(s) for ‘real’/proper. (i.e. example). If you only ‘knew’ the corrupt crap I’ve wittnessed USPS management do, you WOULD be declaring a THEM the terrorists, not the terrorist(s) we have ‘come to know’ as same.

What happened here?? Someone ‘erased’ my input here??? Can’t handle the TRUTH about all this ?? USPS Management is CORRUPT. The Congress AND the Senate has been notified repetatively for years about their ongoing CRIMINAL activity(s) and yet it continues. The MEDIEVAL working conditions in the USPS has been very well VERY clear to the ‘upper-crust’ in this country for ages, yet the corruption continues. Keep ‘voting’ for these corrupt ‘slags’ and see what it gets the workers of america. Then they ‘wonder’/can not figure out, why the economy is so ‘stagnet’ and won’t ‘get off the ground’ in this country. Thousands, more like millions, of people are sick and tired of the corruption going on, not only in the USPS. When is it going to stop??? The so-called ‘law-makers’ forgot to make more laws to make sure the laws they made/make do not get broken?? Must be a scam in itself, expecting a common laborer to have to higher law firms to keep their jobs, at the lower level pay, while the higher level paid so-called ‘managers’ make the big money and can afford one much more ‘easily. Why not ‘order’ them to ‘manage’ more and more offices without help until they ‘fail’/'crack’ under the pressure(badgering/harassment) and have to be placed on limited duty and/or this or ‘similar’ NRP program and then ultimately ‘fire’ them unlawfully. Makes much more ‘sense’ since they do not do any ‘real’ work and get paid much more than those that do. The USPS IS rediculous. I never seen so much WASTE, FRAUD and ABUSE. For such a simple task of delivering mail/parcels, where in Gods creation did all the ‘red tape’ NONSENSE come from that justifies all of the DEAD BEAT manager jobs/so-called ‘positions’ at such highlevel pay???? It’s FRAUDULENT, CORRUPT INSANITY especially ‘combined’ with the rest of the FACTS involved/mentioned. I am amazed that there is not more ‘home grown’ terrorism in this country, and not surprised ‘at all’ at what there is. The USPS management is just a ‘prime example’ of the corruption thru-out the government and the private sector. And the Congress and the Senate just ‘sit back’ and watch??? Know it’s there and do NOTHING. That is corruption in itself. Where is the EXCUSE??? The overwhelming FACTUAL evidence is literally SLAPPING them in the face, and they do NOTHING!!?!! This IS FACTUALLY CORRUPT. Make sure and vote for them/the same ones again, and be just as CORRUPT as they are.

I HAVE HEARD MANY TIMES THE COMPLAINTS OF PEOPLE ABLE BODIED BALLYHOOING THE INJURED WORKERS. THEY SEE US AS A DRAG ON THE ORGANIZATION AND AFFECTING THEM IN A BAD WAY AS FAR AS EXPENSES AND SUCH. THEY CANNOT SEE FURTHER THAN THEIR OWN SELF INTEREST AND FOLKS THE POSTAL SERVICE IS SOMETHING OF A QUASI MILITARY ORGANIZATION. A RESULT OF THE MANY MILITARY FOLKS THAT FILLED THE RANKS OF MANAGEMENT FOR DECADES. NOTHING WRONG WITH THE MILITARY BUT IT MADE THE MANAGEMENT TO GRUNT ATMOSPHERE ADVERSARIAL AND SOMEWHAT ELITE VERSUS INFERIOR. MANAGEMENT AT THE POST OFFICE IS VERY ABUSIVE BECAUSE OF THE POWER THESE PEOPLE FEEL IN THEIR JOBS AND JOB SECURITY. THE POST OFFICE TEACHES A LESSON IN ALL OF LIFE AND ESPECIALLY THE GOVERNMENT. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE AS MUCH POWER AS IS WIELDED BY THESE PEOPLE. WHEN YOU HAVE SO MANY CHEIFS AND TOO FEW INDIANS YOU GET THIS TROUBLE. THE MILITARY TREATS INJURED PERSONNNEL ASIDE FROM COMBAT INJURED PERSONNEL THE SAME WAY. IF YOU ARE INJURED YOU ARE A GOLD BRICK. WORTHLESS. A DRAG ON THE PLATOON OR DIVISION. SOMEONE ELSE IS CARRYING YOUR LOAD. YOU ARE UNDEPENDABLE. YOU ARE MALINGERING. I WAS ACCUSED OF THIS EVEN AFTER I HAD HAD KNEE SURGERY AFTER MORE THAN A YEAR OF PAIN AND TREATMENT. NEVER A PROBLEM AGAIN AFTER THE SURGERY. AND AFTER THIS MY NEW CAPTAIN INFORMED ME AT THE WELCOME ABOARD INTERVIEW THAT HE WOULD NOT TOLERATE MALINGERING. WHAT A TOTAL ASS. HE FOUND OUT THE NEXT TWO YEARS I WAS NOT ONE AND I SHOWED HIM. BUT THIS IS THE LOW BROWED WAY THE MANAGEMENT IN GOVERNMENT LOOKS DOWN ON PEOPLE. YOU ARE SUSPECT OF UNLAWFUL COMPLAINTS OF INJURY AND IN MY CASE I WAS INVESTIGATED EVEN THOUGH I HAD A BONAFIDE MD INJURY DOCTOR THAT HAD THOUSANDS OF POSTAL EMPLOYEE PATIENTS AND THE X-RAY TO PROVE IT. ROTATOR CUFF ONLY THE MOST COMMON INJURY IN THE POSTAL SERVICE. DUUUHH”"” THEN A DENIAL OF A MRI AS THEY DID NOT BELIEVE THE X=RAY. PAID FOR MY OWN MRI. PROVED IT AND THEN THEY CUT OFF MY PAY FOR OVER A MONTH AND DENIED ME UNTIL I TOLD THEM I WAS GOING TO FILE STATE UNEMPLOYMENT AND GO TO THE VA DOCTORS AND LET THE CALL DOL AND FIND OUT WHY I WAS AT A VA HOSPITAL WHEN THIS WAS A WORKERS COMP CASE. THEY APPROVED ME IN A WEEK. THEN THEY TRIED TO SAY I WAS WORKING WHILE ON RESTRICTIONS AND THE DOCTOR TOLD THEM I WAS DELIVERING PIZZA WHICH WAS WELL BELOW MY RESTRICTIONS. A BUNCH OF CREEPS AND THESE FOLKS ARE DOING THIS TO KEEP THEIR JOBS. WE ARE LIKE SPEEDERS TO LOCAL COPS. UNLESS THEY FIND WRONG DOERS OR SOMEONE TO ACCUSE THEY DO NOT EXIST. THIS IS WHY GOVERNMENTS ARE CORRUPT AND INEFFICIENT! THANK ABOUT HOW THESE PEOPLE WILL ADMINSITER HEALTH CARE! I AM SCARED SH_T__SS! DID OF THEM EVER COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND ARMED WITH A GUN AND INTIMIDATE AND INTERROGATE YOU AND DEMAND YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS? IT HAPPENED TO ME. AND BELIEVE ME FOLKS YOU AINT HEARD NOTHIN! YET!

Consider also that the equipment, like the “ergo-carts”, “insulated mats” “step ladders and stools”, etc…, as well as retro-fitting machines to enable the handicapped to work on the machines – which the postal officials ignore and refuse to do.
No one takes into account the height, physical statue or condition of the persons required to operate these machines and/or equipment. There is no testing of people to see if their physical bodies can do the work required or to adapt the work to fit the person.
Remember, as we grow older, our bodies change and we humans go through physical changes just being male and being female.
Not to mention is the terror, harassment, and intimidation that is often used by management as well as the backbiting and lying often done by fellow-employees on those who are ligitimately injured.
Finally, what about management who are injured. They are often offered comfortable “desk” jobs and many times out of sight of the main workroom floor or area.
How’s that for double standard!!!!!

Until you have walked a while in my mocassins, don’t judge me…
Granted the USPS is one of the few companies offering light (which I don’t totally understand) and limited duty (for the on-the-job injuries – that I do understand and whole heartedly agree should be offered).
But considered many positions are displaced/abolished and the jobs that many people did manually are now done by automation. According to the USPS Occupational Staff, the machines nor the equipment are not ergonomically corrected, neither are they user, age, gender or people friendly. Trying working in a sit down job for 5-35/40 years and then work on a machine like the APPS or DBCS….
And also consider that most often times the job given traps you into furthering your injuries (using repetitive motions on many rehab positions)…
As with anything, there are those who abuse the privilege, but the USPS does the most abuse and instead of using good business sense, works injured employees all hours of the day and night and will force an injured employee to accept it or quit.

Man the post office did me a favor with the reassessment..I have been injured for years..I worked in pain like most of you..and mostly because they always called me back well or not.. They would not allow me to stay on workers comp.. and the other reason was I had to pay bills..Man it is cruel the way they did it..walking people out like they stole something..Yea that was crap..But they could keep me on workers comp for awhile I need the break..And I hope to get all my injuries taken care of now..one after the other.. That will keep them paying me and owcp awhile..No matter what, I will not sweat this break I will enjoy it..and as for ven-da-gor and all the other employees who are happy we are gone..Don’t break your back doing all that extra hard work they took from the injured workers and gave to you..

Postal Management invented the NRP as a means to punish its injured employees. This is another in the many strategies to de-humanize the postal workforce. Supposedly intelligent people head Management positions that have them with their faces in computer screens, in officers without windows so that they don’t have to put blinders on, reducing people to mere numbers. The Management officials that continue to reduce people to Employee ID numbers and statistical data don’t even have a clue that when and if the USPS is privatized, they who have internally ruined the dedicated people that kept this business afloat for all these years, will be thrown out with the bath water.
