WE KNOW WE'VE BEEN BUSY WITH CHRISTMAS AND NOT MUCH IS GETTING BETTER BEING SHORTHANDED AT THE OFFICES WITH STAFFING.  MANAGEMENT WON'T HIRE ANY EXTRA CARRIERS AND EVERYONE IS WORN OUT.  JUST BE CAREFUL AND DON'T "HURRY" ON YOUR ROUTE CAUSING YOU TO LOOK PAST SAFETY.  BE SAFE AND BE CAREFUL WITH THE COLD WEATHER AND ICE!  HOPEFULLY YOU CAN ENJOY OUR LAST DAY FOR THIS YEAR AND DON'T TAKE ANY CHANCES WITH YOUR FESTIVITIES.

THE UNION OFFICERS THAT WERE INVOLVED IN RECENT INTERVENTION DISCUSSIONS WITH MEMBERS OF OUR NBA'S OFFICE AND LABOR RELATIONS FROM DENVER DISCUSSED THE USE OF ODL CARRIERS.  ODL CARRIERS CAN BE REQUIRED TO WORK UP TO 12 HOURS AND CAN'T TURN DOWN OVERTIME JUST BECAUSE THEY "HAVE PLANS".  IF YOU ARE ON THE ODL OR ARE THINKING ABOUT SIGNING UP ON THE ODL NEXT QUARTER...YOU ARE SIGNING UP TO WORK 12 HOURS A DAY.  IF YOU GET OFF EARLY, CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY.  WE KNOW THAT THEY AREN'T WORKING ODL CARRIERS 12 HOURS BUT OTHER CARRIERS ARE BEING MANDATED IN GREELEY ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS.  ODL CARRIERS SHOULD CHECK WITH THEIR SUPEVISORS BEFORE CLOCKING OFF TO SEE IF MANDATED CARRIERS ARE STILL OUT ON THE STREET AND NEED ASSISTANCE.  THAT IS WHY ODL CARRIERS ARE ON THE ODL LIST!

JUST DO THE RIGHT THING AND WATCH OUT FOR YOUR FELLOW CARRIER



12-15-2009


THE SUPERVISORS IN GREELEY ARE UP TO THE SAME OLD TRICKS AND THE POSTMASTER ISN'T ANY BETTER.  AT THE MAIN OFFICE THEY HAVE STARTED HARASSING CARRIERSAGAIN.  IF YOU TALK WITH THEM, BE CERTAIN THAT THEY WILL USE THAT INFORMATION AGAINST ANOTHER CARRIER.  KNOW WHO YOU CAN TRUST BEFORE YOU TALK TO ANYONE ABOUT OTHER CARRIERS!  THIS ALSO INCLUDES SOME CARRIERS....THEY LIKE TO RUN TO MANAGEMENT WITH INFORMATION ON A REGULAR BASIS.
