How do we do it? We have endured 17 months of COVID-19 sprinkled with prime time vacations on top. Just when we thought we couldn’t take any more of this s%+t, we arrive at September 2021. We are still here. We are exhausted and bewildered by the challenges we face, but we are here!
But a funny thing happened on the journey of the “pandemic.” As we still see no definitive end in sight, management has decided to bar rage us with discipline for attendance. Mind you, had they attempted to issue corrective discipline while we were really suffering from a lack of staffing, maybe we would have averted some of the attendance issues we had. Now they are trying to write up the wrong people for as little as two occurrences. It’s just a glimpse into the ineptitude that is current postal management. So now we waste time (and money) defending our people when they did nothing wrong. We will prevail, but how about working together for the betterment of the USPS? No, that will never happen. It will always be “our way or the highway.” But this great union always ensures that they must earn the discipline they propose against our brethren.
I cannot go any further without extolling the virtues of our fallen comrade in unionism, the trying to write up the wrong people for as little as two occurrences.

I cannot go any further without extolling the virtues of our fallen comrade in unionism, the great Mr. Richard Trumka. He was the president of the AFL-CIO. NALC is associated with this great labor organization. As president, he led a great part of the labor movement in this country. I was fortunate to have a retired gentlemen who was delivering Meals on Wheels to a condo on my route. Our conversation led to him telling me that he was the college roommate of Richard. Take the time to google Mr. Trumka!
