I have just started as a TE and what I have seen so far is massive disorganization. It seems one hand does not know what the other is doing. The post office is so far in debt and to top it all off nobody seems to know or want to do anything about it. Cut Saturaday delivery is one method. Hire decent help and train them well. Hire enough people so other employees get time off when needed. The post office needs to take an interest in their employees and think of them as assets not something that has no family or any other form of life. Perhaps allow private enterprises take a shot at it. I know I could do better.

Supervisors & Mangers (Who Cut 204b’s) They leave on Detail to get higher Retirerment Rank…. Bonus is Called “Cost of Living Increase..”

In the Post office it’s Not “What you know, but Who you Know”
I am a “Transional Employee.” 3 years Casual & Now on 2nd contract. I work 6 days week as tool for Supervisors. “Be lucky you have a job.” (deserve respect)

They Say….50+ hour weeks, every day 1 hr PIVOT & Skipped Lunches….. TE life
I know I will never get 3rd contract, but I am Worked like they are making ,me Quit. The Asian Superviors are the Worse & I am Filipino, 5 years wasted..

I have 2 weeks Vacation time that SUP’s. will never give Spot leave. Somehow
They play dumb when I bring the form for Doc appt’s or Spot leave, Scedule not made I Resedule or just Take it for the team???? Union help???
The Union Forces me to Crosscrafts & Do clerk Work, They gave up on TE’s.
I Got Uniform Alowance 2nd Contract……. (1st contract allowance??? Bonus?)

I can’t make Grevinces for everything they force me to do, because it will effect my chances down the Road. One Can go Insane on situation… HELP!
Now USPS will not give anyone chance to take postal exam. (no hiring PTF”S) I get ignored on saftey issues, & intimdated to do thing fast. BT time is start Street
Time. No flow chart . 5 hr Routes No Lunch… Will This Cycle ever End??? Who will help us? Bring on Auto flats & 5 day week delivery or Consolidate my office…
I Guess in the End this the life of Postal Temps. I Guess I will stick it out to get my 8 months of unemployment… LET MR GO!……..

It is scary. The clerk craft is being destroyed. Almost half of the jobs lost were from the clerk craft. Maintenance seems to be doing pretty good and the MVS craft is really hurting. All in all the the number of union members is dwindling. We need our Unions to be strong and maybe look at joining forces. I know I just committed a crime by saying that. But it is just a thought.
