In Livermore and Richmond, I’m pursuing conduct cases targeting the stewards with statements received. Pleasanton good in El Cerrito a LOW I’m confident I will get thrown out. Saturday at about 7:17am I received a phone call from one of my stewards who was reporting to work and management had locked all entry doors to the building! I’m currently dealing with that. I’m unaware of any company that would lock out their employees from reporting to work early.

2nd VP – Terrence Super: I filed a conduct case for carries using code 733 that is for parcel post routes only. Suisun carriers are running their routes and that will only hurt them in the long run.

1st VP – Mary Abante: My new steward in Bentwood is already settling article 8 grievances. A carrier had a vehicle breakdown and was made to wait for 2hrs before management showed up. I filed a grievance resolved to no carrier should be waiting more than 30 minutes. In another instance a 204B was observing carriers no badge no scanner customer called police made 204B leave. Carrier has been their 30+ years.
