How does Davidson show his....

face to the members of this Union again. After listening to his little tirade where he gets all emotional and sounds like he is about to cry how could/did we ever take this guy serious.

That's not even counting the fact that he was taking up for the Post Office's financial struggles and downplaying the Letter Carriers financial struggles. To think he was going to run in place of Rhine is further testament of how out of touch the establishment is.

What an embarrassment he is to himself and Region 9.

Branch President

We have a branch president that is running to be a NALC National Trustee. What happens if he wins? Does he give up his current position or is he able to fill both?

Equitability

Is there an Excel spreadsheet that we can use to make things easier to do equitability? Supervisor is lying through his teeth that he’s calling people and they’re not answering. He keeps bringing in the same people on their NS day. And there are others who are very low on OT.

The way the old stewards are teaching me is regular days are being done separately from NS days. And each color for NS is treated on its own so people on Blue color for their NS day are equitable by themselves, separately from Green, Brown, etc. if say person A was brought in 6 times on their NS day and person B was brought in only 2 times, that means they owe person B 3 days to bring them on their NS day.

Now, say they don’t schedule person B, but they call them the next day and they don’t answer - what do you all do about it? Is there a time limit for that part?

Anyone that calls off or uses annual and they’re on the OT list they will get an average OT for however much OT was used for that day - kinda like shadow OT hours counted against them.

Bumped off hold down by ptf conversion?

So our acting PM called me into the office and had me close the door even though it's "nothing bad" then proceeds to tell me she's just giving me a heads up that I'm gonna get bumped off of my hold down by a ptf conversion. I'm currently on a hold down I've had since last novemberish. The reg that works the route is currently in jail due to being caught by police meeting up with an underage girl in a nearby city. I was converted to regular in March of this year to a Tech Carrier and kept my hold down on said route that is within my string of routes. My understanding is I keep my hold down until it's bid on and a new reg gets it or the creep comes back.... Am I wrong? Also side note. Another PTF was just converted to uAR just this month. I think they're just mad I got off of OTDL and are trying to "punish" me. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Sending in my vote this morning

Yes it’s a heartbreaker and straight up confusing about Walton’s political affiliations and to be honest I have fallen off the podcast because I’m tired of hearing James Henry ramble about god and the marines.

Here’s my deal:

I got involved in the union because of Corey. I was a shop steward because of Corey. I’m an OJI because of Corey. My work life is a lot better because of what he’s done. This job/pay can’t get any worse than it is right now so I am supporting the guy who is the reason I’m still here.

Another thing, region specific, I transferred to this region 2 years ago. I had to get recertified as an OJI in an office next to my branch president’s office (who is a non carrying/full time president), he waddled in and introduced himself at 10 AM during our training and talked to the instructor about going to lunch. At 1:00 pm, he waddled back in with a bunch of bags from Whole Foods. The instructor asked him if he was having a big lunch and the president replied, “no I figured I’d get my groceries while I was out.” And laughed.
I don’t even know who this region 13 candidate is but i do know Vada Preston is culpible in this area being an embarrassment. I am so embarrassed of this region and my branch so I’m doing what little I can and that is vote.
