[ted_e_bear]

Dear Members,

Today at 5pm we will be live with legendary President of the American Postal Workers Union Mark Dimondstein and CWU General Secretary Dave Ward.

We will cover the issues facing postal workers here and in the US, the threat posed by bad bosses and of course the forthcoming US presidential election.

This will be an excellent session.

Please join us LIVE at 5pm via this link: https://www.youtube.com/live/1ixCyilrbC0 or catch up later on our YouTube channel.

Yours sincerely,

Chris Webb

I wonder if anybody asked DW when he's going to get around to telling us more about the RM scandal?

[Mr Rush]

I've previously posted a part of this quote I saw elsewhere about the parallel decline of the USPS, and concomitantly their postal union.

Will USPS ever become better and an actual Career again?

Our shop stewards and a few old-heads were talking the other day somewhat privately on the dock and I overheard them from over the equipment. They were all saying that this job used to be a career, and a good one, but that it isn't anymore, and that it never will be again, and that the union isn't sure how to break this news to new carriers, or ease them into accepting it. They said the future of the USPS is to perpetually hire unqualified workers at criminal pay until we either implement the old hiring standards or get shutdown.

It was very disheartening, especially when I spoke to our local president and he said that there is 0% chance we ever go back to strict hiring requirements because corporate loves having an infinite hiring pool of disposable, replaceable employees they can grind up and spit out.

I've had the same conversation over here, but nationally no-one is admitting it's all over. Okay, so jobs were protected - it's just not the same one. By 2044 we'll be commenting we turned into sandwhich artists so gradually that we didn't notice.
