They don't anticipate a negotiated settlement by the end of the week.

The Postal Service doesn't want to put the money on the table that would be necessary for a negotiated settlement.

Most of the proposals submitted were flat out rejected by the Postal Service.

Major issues, getting rid of mandatory overtime, start times, transfer rules, uniform program, hiring program, harassment on the workroom floor.... None of that is being discussed because the Postal Service has not accepted we have a problem.

So, the flavor of the month is excessive backing.

I was pulled into the office for non-disciplinary corrective action.

They told me I backed up more than 50 feet on a route on Monday. I asked, okay, where did it happen?

They told me they couldn't tell me where it exactly happened. Just that it happened on my route.

So, how does that help in any way?

The only thing I could think of is a dog charged me, and I slowly walked backwards to get away til the owner came out and got the dog.
