From the National Association OF Supervisors (NAPS)
The USPS has advised that their major announcement that was scheduled for September 8, 2011 has been rescheduled to September 15th due to the president’s address to Congress now scheduled for September 8th.
NAPS
The PO can only offer 25k. More than that or any years added to service needs to be approved by Congress. We all just have to wait until the blowhard decides to speak. We should expect many so called “major announcements” in the near future.
I can only hope geez is not a window clerk
We all see things from our own perspective
You blame management, and you’re right – so do we
We also find it hard to think of all the money they spend on new machines when they know the mail volume is declining ( and faster than they had predicted).
Think of all the parts to keep them running not to mention the hours to train maintenance. Here, they even had to RENT a bigger space for the new super flat sorter.
Cubans can keep cars from the 1950s running but look at USPS
As one technician said – we indulge in corporate welfare. We keep giving money to the machine makers. By the way, we buy junk so we have to keep fixing and fixing and fixing and buying parts.
If you have to ask why wait a week for an announcement – duh
they have to wait for congress to do something then they can change their announcement, right?
The Bush tacs cuts have too stand and middle class is commie. Give all the mony too the billonairs. They is The Job Creator.
Wow geez and those of you ignorant people that are blaming Obama how about the bottom line the rich get richer the middle-class is shrinking. Obama is trying to fix the economy Republicans insist upon Bush Tax cuts continuing.Obamas hands are tied if PMG makes $700,000 he is benefiting from Bush Tax Cuts and using those loop holes. Bush made this mess from failing banks and the whole economical mess and guess what the economy has affected the P.O.
I agree totally. Where I work the managers were the crappiest workers that relied on the other people to pull their weight. No normal person would be a 204B so the lazy ones went right up the ladder. The PMG on down needs to be replaced by people who actually knows how to run a business. These clowns are destroying a business that thousands have worked their asses off to build. I firmly believe that they are doing this on purpose to privatise the business. The PMG makes over 700,000.00 a year – maybe he should look for work elsewhere.
Fire 70% of management and the USPS should gain revenue.
There you people go again, censoring what is submitted!!!!
Face the truth, forget the ghetto president and what lies he has to say.
Major annoucement – hmmmmm. Oh, goody the people just can’t wait!!! What lies will be in that speech. USPS is not what it used to be. Those affirmative action supervisors & managers ran everything to the ground. And look what’s happening to the US, with an affirmative action president. People talking about yrs. added to your service time, forget it, never gonna happen, just keep dreaming. That Dono-hoe is full of crap. If the USPS closes, and goes under, then he is out of a job too. Let’s see if Dono-hoe will be leaving, if things are as bad as he says. Just lying to the media and public for sympathy money. When they get it, the money will be wasted. More bonuses for bad supervisors & managers. Never ending replay of the same old, same old. Forget about the affirmative action president’s speech, just full of crap as usual. Hopeless and changed for the worse. No more O-Bummer – he caused this country to become a huge ghetto. Why would you people want an affirmative action, unqualified, incompetent president, when you can get someone better, smarter, doesn’t use upyour tax money for vacations???????? Oh, you are wrong, Reagan & Bush spent some of their vacation time at their OWN ranch – not free loading on tax payers’ money!!! You all should be sick of O-Bummer & family for free loading on the US tax payers. You all are worse off than ever, and if you voted for O-Bummer, just thank that idiot you see in the mirror.

No matter what the clown says, doesn’t Congress have the last say? They don’t seem to be doing anything about the situation. I guess they are too busy f ing up the rest of the country.
5 day delivery to start January 1, 2012.
Hey Seattle and John Potter,you two make a great couple.When are you two getting married?I think it’s legal in your state now. I heard your reception is going to be at INFANT PLAZA with rest of the cry babies.Hey Roy I think you got it wrong.They can’t afford bullets. They are going to to use hammers to the head.It dosen’t make noise.
The announcement will be that Infant Plaza babies are going to give themselves an early out w/incentives while were still holding our Johnsons!!!!
Hey Seattle learn how to spell you suck-up. I heard management wants to take us out back and shoot us, but they can only afford one bullet per person, so please die quickly already.(And no bleeding on the parking lot.)
Bring back “Carvin Marvin” for PMG he’ll slash the management about 80% and save a ton of cash = some extra time to get the dead ass ISSA supporters in gov’t to stop forcing us to overpay. We have way too many stupervisors. GO APWU!!
I will be coming back to assume my position
Same as transportation. Robots can’t hop in our trucks and deliver the mail to the PO’s.
Quit listening to the idiots talking about years added. IT WOULD REQUIRE CONGRESS TO ACT.
spooky, I so hope your sources are correct. Keep the cash, I’d settle for the 5 years, but I’m not holding my breath.
STRIKE
#2 Mike the Mail Handlers are the one group of postal workers in the best position not the worst,They have been trying for 30 years to find a machine or robot to load and unload mail. It cannot be done. Machines can sort mail but not load and unload it.
Let’s see, we have Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, SPEECH on Thursday, Friday and so on. How long does it take to make an announcement? Just make it already.
me hearing from VERY reliable source this announcement is for a huge reduction in procession & distribution plants and it includes a VERA with incentives. At first we heard 20K incentive with the normal VERA rules but now hearing 5 years added time if that seems possible. MY DREAM COME TRUE – pleaseeeeeeeeee
They will be announcing RIF’s.
why can’t announcement be on Sept. 9? Why wait an entire week just because the President is making a speech on Sept. 8? I don’t “get it “.
Who knows what the PMG is gonna say. But if I were to guess, I’d say hes announcing that since nobody will vote for her, wild eyed Bachman will be PMG Paylin’s first Postal Assistant Privatization Szar. As the PAPS, she will ‘smear’ the post office workers into shape, and insure that privatization takes place smooth as a baby’s bottom.
Seattle: Go back to throwing donuts and collecting your 80 grand
Hey Seattle……. its just Plain English! Wow… you can use spellcheck…give yourself a pat on your pointed little head!
It will be to announce that all carriers and clerks will be fired
VERA maybe?
The Lord sayeth let them eat cake!
Seattle, Welcome to the real world. A little levity leavens the whole lump, no, wait a minute, wrong scripture. 98% of the people in our station busts their rumps everyday, not for recognition from a self-serving management, but it’s because that’s who we are. Whatsoever your hands find to do, do it heartily as unto the LORD and not unto men or women. The rewards are everlasting.
I would bet that the major announcement concerns the relaxing of delivery standards and the resulting closing and consolidating of mail processing plants.
Every postal employee and patron must speak out vigorously against this.
Service will be destroyed and jobs will be lost. The economy and the families of postal employees will suffer needlessly. Sell off some of the prime vacant real estate and stop the excessive prefunding of benefits. Look for REAL solutions that will keep the Postal Service in business, employees in their jobs and the mail flowing to the public as it was meant to be! Donohoe should resign. Any exec that sees dissecting business and killing service as a viable solution needs to be served his walking papers. This type of business implosion would not be tolerated in the private sector.
WHO FREAKIN CARES… WE CAN’T DO ANYTHING. SHIT ROLLS DOWNHILL,AND WE HAVE TO CLEANUP AFTER THEM.WHAT A BUNCH OF MORONS. JUST FLUSH THE TOILET AND END IT ALREADY, MANAGEMENT IS RUNNING OUT OF THINGS TO CHARGE US WITH!!!MAYBE IF THEY GOT RID OF THEM WE COULD SURVIVE????? I’D LIKE TO GET PAID 80,000 TO STAY HALF A DAY AND BUST THE BALLS OF MY CARRIERS, THEY ARE ONLY THERE TO COLLECT THEIR $$$ THERE IS NO MAIL TO COUNT SO WHAT ELSE IS THERE FOR THEM TO DO?? RIDE AROUND AND THROW DONUTS AT US??GOOD LUCK TO US ALL.
Wow, this site is just like being at work. The perfect cross section of my fellow employees. They ioen their mouth and they show that their IQ is about 50. Nowonder the Postal Service is going down. If some of the people who post here are the same ones that are “moving” the mail, the we are doomed.
Talking about drinking, enema’s etc. Real brainiacs arent you?
Hope the announcement tells all about the privatization of the Post Office. Then the layoffs.
LETS SEE .. I BET IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BETTER SERVICE
OR WAY OF GETTING OR KEEPING THE MAIL WE HAVE
Who cares what Obombo has to say. Talk to US Mr. PMG. Critical, Dire, Shared sacrifice, Disaster, Bankrupt, Deficit, Debt, Collapse. You can’t scare me, I have children and grandchildren.
Who cares. I need a drink. I hope the BIG announcement is……………… WHATEVER!
Maybe it’s to announce the early retirement incentives coming soon to a failing Post Office near you.
Drug testing is complete and the results are: 100% of executives at La Infant Plaza are stoned out of their skulls most of the time.
Managers and stupidvisors prefer hard lick her causing they can’t afford the good stuff. Postmaster whats his face had a record breaking enema..5 days without stopping. His brown eyes are now blue and his mind is cleared.
I hope its to tell us that Postmaster General is resigning. He has cause alot of ill will. He also can’t run a business by threating all the people that work for Post Office , Senators, Represenatives.
