I have received several letters from people all over the country who have been NRP’d by the US Postal service. Anyone interested in telling me their story, in writing, and willing to let me collect these letters to send to congress? Include the problems you’re having with OWCP. It’s time for the whole country to know what the top exec’s have been up to. [please don’t email. Please send your stories along with written permission to use them to Sandra McConnell, 28 Ross St., Rochester, NY,14615-2330

I have finally found a site that makes me feel as though I’m not alone. My friend has been employed as a PMR for almost 6 months now and, until the last month, has been fairly satisfied with his job. As of late, the OIC in his town that acts as his quasi-supervisor has used threats of termination, limiting of hours, and the possibility of taking legal action him after he submitted mileage form without her signature on it.
She presents to the office when he opens the office or is about to close, yells at him, uses profanity that is directed toward him, and demeans him. He has been scared for his safety as her husband does have firearms.
I initially suggested he contact the OIG but from previous posts I see that would be useless. Should he contact law enforcement? A congressional representative? Personally, I think he should just quit (after he finds a more healthy work environment that’s free of threats). As for me, I’m paying my bills online and using UPS.

Dear Eric,
Please check out my entries on WBI article about another work place tragedy.
I went through all the “proper” proceedures with my Postal Problems and they all backfired. According to Mrs. Jeanette Dwyer, Vice-President of the National Rural Letter Carriers Association, my problems were because I wrote my Congressmen about threats against me for filling a grievance. She was the State Steward of the North Carolina Rural Letter Carriers at the time I was having my problems. Many people have said my case should have been told to the public and I should have written a book. I still have most of my documents but not enough resources and help to expose the cruel realities of the Postal System. Nothing can be done about the Postal System because of the unlawful Political Appointments of Congressional “friends” They have to cover up for each other.

My case grew from a treat against me for filing a grievance (which was settled in my favor). Mrs. Dwyer may deny she told me my problems were because I wrote my congressmen (about the threats), but it would be unwise for her to do so under oath in court.

I have said a wrote many times before that I would be glad to testify in court or hearing about the Postal Service treatment of me and other Postal Employees.

I would be glad to face Mr. Mayer or any other lying Postal Executive in a Public hearing. Bring it on. Let them anaylize my case in the public. And bring on Congressman Howard Coble who was honored as Postmaster for a Day at the Post Office where I worked for 22 years after I sought his assistance about the threats for filing a legitimate grievance.

Feel free to write me or call me. I will send you phone numbers if you wish.

The USPS has a legal and ethical obligation to promote a working environment that is free from threats and violence from managers or supervisors and, in addition, can face economic loss as the result of violence in the form of lost work time, damaged employee morale and productivity, increased workers’ compensation payments, medical expenses, and possible lawsuits and liability costs.

It is a radical and inconceivable notion that postal higher ups act as if this is not a reality and hundreds, if not thousands of employees are simply making this shit up. Really?

I would like to know what to do when a postal worker while on duty is house/dog sitting stopping in at a house again while on duty . This is a small gossippy town and yes i have had my mail tampered with although since postal worker removed off route mail has been coming with no problem. she was put onto another route, of which from my understanding this is the 2nd time of not being able to prove but mail tampering. Now while at house sitting a pic is taken due to me not being able to prove other situation. She also wears her uniform even when not on duty. what can be done about all this and is it illegal to take pic of this finding so as to report to “USGENERAL” I think of the postal service. please send me email MichJ41@yahoo.com thanks

You are my new hero-I am so glad that you spoke your mind (like so many of us)and to hell with the Postal Service. I am proud that you have the guts to stand up to these mindless idiots. I used to work for the Postal Service, I am out on NRP, hoping to retire soon but i am still ashamed to tell anyone that I worked for that place.

Terri,

What you said is true. Before you go into the federal courts you must exhaust your administrative options. Pressure needs to be put on your union to expedite this matter. But more importantly, the postal service shouldn’t be able to withold an employee’s livelihood until the employee has been proven to be guilty of an offense. You should be considered innocent until proven guilty.

The fact that the PO can play with its employee’s lives like that is why they hold all the cards. If the PO had to continue to pay its employees until they proved their case, they’d be less apt to bring frivolous charges.
