On January
14, 2012 a group of diverse individuals from the community of Grove
Hall in Boston as well as from various Unions including the APWU
protested the closing of the Grove Hall Post Office. Where were you
APWU members? I counted between 70 and 80 attendees total from the
community other Unions and the APWU. I would say that maybe, at best
15 to 20 APWU members showed up. You all should be ashamed of
yourselves all of you who sat there wherever you where and said"
someone else will go; there will be enough with out me i won't need
to go". Well I hope other APWU members won't do the same thing when
it comes time to close your job site.... And make no mistake it is
coming to a PO like yours soon, if Postal management and some of
those idiots in congress get their way and as long as they count on
you all to let everybody else do you protesting for you....

APWU
Leadership Northeast Region;
The
USPS
is going to start a campaign to encourage our members to become
Letter Carriers. They currently have a number
of carrier vacancies that they would like to fill with our
people. As you know if our people voluntarily transfer they start a new
period of seniority, generally as a PTF carrier. If they are
full time currently and they are excessed into the carrier craft
they remain full time.
With the proposal to go from 6 day to 5 day delivery currently
being considered by Congress, I would discourage our members
from volunteering to become carriers. The USPS says if they get
5 day delivery they can eliminate all their Q-2 positions and
reduce the number of letter carriers significantly. This will
lead to the junior carriers being excessed or perhaps laid off,
if the USPS reduces of eliminates the layoff protection in their
current round of bargaining with the NALC.
So caution your members accordingly.

"All
APWU
members should read this
letter from National APWU Treasurer Liz Powell. The automated phone
system is nothing more than a way for our National Officers to put themselves
further out of touch with the States, Locals and last but not least its Members.
We should all write these out of touch Individuals and tell them we don't want
their automated phone system. As it is now letters written go unanswered, what
do think is going to happen when this automated phone system goes in, you will
not get a response from National to the voice mail you leave. Why else would
they want it?"
