The mailhandler jobs in my plant, especially on tour 1, is to smoke dope, drink alcoholic beverages, and have sex. OIG and Inspection Service do not care.

You’d be dumb to get into the Clerk craft right now with all the automation equip being put in. If I was a clerk, I’d switch over ASAP. Hell, it seems that the mail handlers job at my plant is to just get drunk on the job!!!

no other craft has it as good as rurals. the city would be nuts not to go to their system. Paid overtime thats not worked?????
Very little supervision. Outdated counts and inspection. ( 8 flats per minute, parcels that are SPRs and fit in the box.
wait to you privatize and see if these same rules last.

Whats a CDS route? When will the rurals ask the NALC for a merge?

And they will stop rural growth by creating CDS routes everywhere.
