Carrier's Heroic Action Saves Customer's Life

Carrier’s Heroic Action Saves Customer’s Life

Congratulations to Branch 1111 member Lakhwinder Gill of Fremont for being recognized by the NALC at the National level for his coming to the aid of a customer in distress. His realizing her plight, calling 911 and staying with her until medical help arrived saved her life. Mr. Gill is holding the letter of recognition from National President Brian Renfroe.

Matt Hurley Passes

We are saddened to report the death of Matt Hurley, one of the key founders of our union Brother Hurley was President of Berkeley in 1981 and worked diligently with State Officer Dixie Copeland, Oakland’s Robert Rutter, and Richmond’s Verle Craven to form our Branch. Instead of “merging” into a larger branch the idea was to “consolidate” ten East Bay cities and form a brand new union. Thus, Branch 1111 was born. Brother Hurley served as our first Vice President. In 2021, for our 40th anniversary he wrote a very informative account of this creation process. We are forever thankful for his wise and persistent work in building our Branch

Our Condolences

We were informed Gold Card Member and Fremont retiree John Rybicki passed away recently. Our sympathies to his family and friends.

Protect, Preserve and Prosecute

By Edward P. Fletcher, President

Oh, how the times have changed in the Postal Service for us Letter Carriers. Enough is Enough! I get sick to my stomach every time I hear that there has been another armed robbery or crime is committed against our brothers and sisters, and the members of the communities we serve.

Our Meeting with the USPIS

A few weeks ago, Branch 214 President Karen Eshabarr and I were invited to meet with the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), and members of the Task Force on Arm Robberies and Assaults. We met in the “War Room,” which had ongoing investigations with photos of suspects plastered all over the walls. We were told that the City of Oakland and San Francisco had more armed robberies/assaults than all the other cities in the districts they cover.

In 2023, there have been over 77 armed robberies and assaults. Since February 13, 2023, I have personally tracked 25 armed robberies/assaults taking place as of August 8, 2023. The Lead Inspector stated, “We can arrest and prosecute are way out of these crimes.” “We must devalue the keys and add more security.”

The USPS has a new pilot program where the keys and electronic codes are used together, which can be instantly changed. On a positive note, we were informed three suspects pleaded guilty for robberies in Oakland, Martinez and San Francisco. The criminal who robbed a letter carrier in 2021 in the City of Oakland got 6 years and 5 months in prison. The other two criminals are awaiting sentencing. We need more prosecutions.

Fund all Law Enforcement, not defund!

In speaking with the Postal Inspection Service, local law enforcement representatives and our own National Leaders, it is no secret that the Postal Service as a whole and Law Enforcement agencies are all chronically understaffed. In fact, just before sitting down to write this article, I watched the news on Channel 2. They reported that the Vallejo Police department had 50 Officer vacancies and only 34 Police Officers on staff. That is unbelievable! They also held a meeting to inform the Vallejo community that the Police will not be responding to burglar alarms. Really!

We must “Fund Law Enforcement,” including local and federal prosecutors at all levels. By providing more funds to all Law Enforcement, it will enable them to better protect us,

preserve our safety and prosecute these cowardly criminals who are targeting our letter carriers.

Our National Union

As your President, one of my many duties is getting information from, and communicating with our National Business Agent and our National Officers. I have been tasked with tracking and reporting these robberies/assaults against our brothers and sisters in Branch 1111. I have also submitted the names of several brave Branch members who were robbed and are willing to testify in national arbitration to aid the Union’s efforts to get more resources for the Postal Police and Inspection Service.

On August 8, 2023, I spoke with one of our National Officers who informed me of the following:

the NALC wants more prosecutions; they meet with the USPS weekly on crime issues; the USPS has spent money out of their own pockets to hire 12 prosecutors, who agreed to take 80% of the cases on Postal crime; there are crime bills currently in congress and many of our representatives will support these bills, but they don’t go far enough; they met with the Chief Postal Inspector who confirmed that USPIS is understaffed; for cases to be prosecuted at the federal level, the stolen property must be valued at least $ 500.

Postal Crime Epidemic

The USPS and all Law Enforcement agencies must pull out all the stops! No excuses. All Letter Carriers should write to their local congressman as their constituents and ask him/her to push hard to pass bills that will protect letter carriers, enhance penalties and prosecute the criminals.

Is Management Truthfully Concerned About Safety?

By Jose Ochoa, Executive Vice President

In July 2023, a 66-year-old Dallas Letter Carrier Eugene Gates Jr., passed out during an extremely hot day while delivering. He collapsed in the front yard. The homeowner came outside to perform CPR, but the carrier later died at the hospital.

In 2019 Los Angeles carrier, Peggy Frank, was found dead in her non-air-conditioned mail truck on an extraordinarily hot day.

In 2022, Letter Carrier John Watzlawick of Independence, Missouri died while delivering mail in the heat. Watzlawick informed management that he felt ill from the heat prior to his death.

Please don’t allow yourself to be the next casualty. Once again, I want to remind you how to recognize a possible heat stroke/heat exhaustion.

Symptoms of Heat Stroke

Throbbing headache, confusion, nausea, dizziness, body temperature above 103°F; hot, red, dry, or damp skin; rapid or strong pulse, fainting, loss of consciousness. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop working and get to a shady area. Call 911 or get to a hospital immediately. Heat stroke is a severe medical emergency.

Symptoms of Heat Exhaustion

Heavy Sweating, weakness or tiredness: cool, pale clammy skin; fast, weak pulse; muscle cramps; dizziness; nausea or vomiting; headache; fainting.

First move to a cooler environment, preferably a well airconditioned room. Loosen clothing, call 911 and explain what you are feeling and follow instructions. You can also try calling your supervisor, but we all know the chances of them answering the phone are very rare.

Don’t take any chances, your life is more important than mail delivery. Think about your loved ones and how they need you to come home safely at the end of the day. The mail will get delivered, you can be replaced, but not by your loved ones.

You have the right to take as many extra breaks as needed if experiencing any of the above. Let management know, that you took extra breaks. If any issues arise from the extra time you took, immediately let your Shop Steward or FTO know.

Of course, by now, you know all about carrying and drinking lots of water when it’s hot. Be safe and take care.

THE POWER OF USING PS FORM 3996

By Berkeley Chief Steward Liz Corriea

Hey brothers and sisters just wanted to remind you of your responsibility to fill out a PS Form 3996 correctly. The instructions on how to fill it out properly are listed on the back page of the form.

Any time you feel your route needs overtime, you should always ask for a PS Form 3996. You should never be denied this form, However, you could be denied the overtime. In the event that you are denied a PS Form, please notify your Shop Steward immediately. If you are denied the overtime, you must call back and ask for further instructions, and upon return to the office, update that PS Form 3996, to reflect what happened.

I’ve seen so many PS Form 3996, that are completely filled out improperly. But you’re not alone, I find that management doesn’t fill their section of the PS Form 3996 out properly either. Some supervisors have been taking upon themselves to change the look of the PS Form 3996, and even go so far as to fill out some of the sections that are to be filled out by you. This is also some of your office time, being taken away from you, so be aware. Educate yourself on how to fill this form out properly, this will allow you to get into the habit of doing what’s right, as well as understanding this form.

BERKELEY BLUES NEWS

Unfortunately, there hasn’t been much improvement at Berkeley DDU where we are still struggling to keep PTFs here in this office Not sure why, but being overworked is probably the biggest issue, as well as the way they are being treated. This is happening in most of the other Berkeley offices too.

Berkeley also struggles to be organized By now you would have thought it should be getting better, but that’s yet to be seen. I am trying to be hopeful that there are better days to come our way, when no one has to be mandated to work there SDO’s.

I feel Berkeley management doesn’t understand our contract very well, and tends to go by their own rules. This is why there are so many violations, and grievances in Berkeley, and at this rate, we Shop Stewards will be very busy. I am keeping this short until the next time, take care my union brothers and sisters.

Knowledge is Power!

The Most Important Delivery

By: Narciso Paderanga, IV, First Vice President

First, I would like to commend all our brothers and sisters for all of your hard work and resiliency. For the past few years, you have been faced with having to work longer hours in a day and more days in a week due to understaffing and the Service’s inability to hire new employees and its inability to keep them due to mostly the “quality of life” as a letter carrier.

You were there when the whole world halted by way of the most recent pandemic, COVID-19. You risked your lives by continuing to work throughout these past several years. You have been forcefully working overtime, although you didn’t sign the overtime desired list, including being mandated to work on your day off.

While we continue to file grievances for these contractual violations, management has not sufficiently done enough to hire the necessary personnel and do what it takes to retain new employees to alleviate the issues.

Now, you, your brothers and sisters are risking their safety as well as their lives every day to serve the public in the delivery of mail. We hear letter carriers being robbed of keys and mail, assaulted, and worst having a gun pointed at you.

In the event you are robbed at gunpoint, assaulted, or have any serious interactions with these criminals, and you fear for your safety, you have the right to seek medical attention and ultimately file a CA-1 through ecomp.dol.gov.

In the event your postal vehicle is broken into, and your belongings are taken, you have the right to file an “Employee Claim” under Article 27, which states in part,

“Subject to a $60 minimum, an employee may file a claim within fourteen (14) days of the date of loss or damage and be reimbursed for loss or damage to his/her personal property except for motor vehicles and the contents thereof taking into consideration depreciation where the loss or damage was suffered in connection with or incident to the employee’s employment while on duty or while on postal premises. The possession of the property must have been reasonable, or proper under the circumstances and the damage or loss must not have been caused in whole or in part by the negligent or wrongful act of the employee.

We urge you not to get confrontational and just give them what they want. DO NOT BE A HERO! We want you to go home to your loved ones because the “most important delivery” you should be making is the delivery of yourself to your family at the end of the day every day of the week. In solidarity.

Working Together is Success

By Mary Abante, Third Vice President

I was asked a few days ago about the United Parcel Service (UPS) tentative contract agreement and how it differs from our negotiated contract involving our Union. Upon researching multiple Web sites a few things stand out.

For example, Martin Luther King Day was first observed as a Federal Holiday (USPS) in 1986. In January 2000, fifty states made it a state government holiday. This year during their negotiations Martin Luther King Jr. Day becomes a full holiday for United Parcel Service (UPS) for the first time in their union’s history

Article six of the Joint Contract Agreement previously negotiated by our Union reads.

1. Each employee who is employed in the regular work force as of the date of the Award of Arbitrator James J. Healy, September 15, 1978, shall be protected henceforth against any involuntary layoff or force reduction.

2. It is the intent of this provision to provide security for each such employee during his or her working lifetime. (Hard to think of many jobs that provide such protection.)

3. Employees who become members of the regular work force after the date of this Award, September 15, 1978, shall be provided the same protection afforded under (1) above on completion of six years of continuous service and having worked in at least 20 pay periods during each of the six years.

Regarding UPS:

Reuters, Exclusive News Reports, Los Angeles, Feb. 13, 2023. United Parcel Service (UPS.N) on Monday confirmed it is taking steps to reduce its workforce in regions where delivery demand has softened, a comment that comes days after a local union reported that the company had begun nationwide layoffs of some drivers.

The National Association of Letter Carriers is continuing to fight for your rights. Resources abound for people interested in learning more

Working together can help build members’ confidence in themselves and in our Union. By getting involved members can begin to regain a feeling of control and power. As a result, the Union achieves more of its goals, and members recognize the power of working together.

Don’t Leave any Money on the Table

By Francisco Cabrera, Second Vice President

Recently I have successfully gotten back some of the largest payouts for bid posting violations. For example, one employee was paid $4066.48 for management not placing them on their assignment within 49 days of the date of the vacancy. Another letter carrier was paid $4765.20. Why this result?

JCAM Article 41.1.A.1 A vacant or newly established duty assignment not under consideration for reversion shall be posted within fourteen calendar days from the day it becomes vacant or is established unless a longer period of time is negotiated locally. If management wants to delay posting by declaring the position under consideration for reversion, they would have to have current route inspection data. Or in our time the issue should be referred to the TIAREAP team, the joint route adjustment agreement process we are unfortunately under. They can’t place it under consideration for reversion because a “runner” does it under 8.

JCAM 41.1.B.3 3. - The notice shall remain posted for 10 days unless a different length for the posting period is established by local negotiations. 24 days so far.

41.1.C.2 2 - Within ten days after the closing date of the posting, the Employer shall post a notice indicating the successful bidder, seniority date and number. The successful bidder must be placed in the new assignment within 15 days except in the month of December. So that’s 49 days (14 + 10 +10 +15 = 49. (Unless you have a longer period negotiated locally)

That’s the drop-dead date for that carrier who is being assigned or successful bidder must start working the new assignment with its schedule. If it’s off even by a day guess what? That’s right. Take em to Grievance town! You’re going to document the case file with the following:

1) Evidence of when the assignment became a residual vacancy. This could include:

*Ps Form 50 of the retiring/resigning carrier.

*The bid posting itself – Looks like this with the job ID who vacated it, when, but this date may be wrong. That will come out in your investigation.

*The bid award posting from the carrier vacating the route showing effective date of new assignment which obviously means the prior assignment is now vacant.

If this fails, maybe your union local/Branch President will have documentation noting the separation date of a retiring employee for example. Of course you're not going to let management's refusal to provide information stop you in this endeavor and you will file a companion grievance for denying the information.

2) The clock rings showing the carrier is not working his bid assignment as posted from the 49th day until they are placed on it.

What will your remedy be? A cease and desist, and to pay the carrier who should have been placed on the assignment an additional 50% times the straight time rate, for all hours worked off the bid assignment. As well as the schedule they should have worked from the 49th day until they are placed on the assignment. For example SDO not worked when guaranteed 8 or work on SDO of new assignment which was paid as a regular day in the system. Both of these remedies should be requested and paid. It’s really that simple.

If you are not filing this, you are leaving money on the table!

Another situation I have run across is that even experienced Union representatives including some RAA’s and NBAs are not enforcing Article 8.5F.

Excluding December, no full-time regular employee will be required to work overtime on more than four of the employee’s five scheduled days in a service week or work over ten hours on a regularly scheduled day, over eight hours on a non-scheduled day, or over six days in a service week.

Article 8.5.F applies to both full-time regular and full-time flexible employees. The only two exceptions to the work hour limits provided for in this section are for all full-time employees during the penalty overtime exclusion period (December) and for full-time employees on the ODL during any month of the year (Article 8.5.G). Both work and paid leave hours are considered “work” for the purposes of the administration of Article 8.5.F and Article 8.5.G.

It says what it means and it means what it says.

Non ODL which means employees on 8 hours only as a preference, as in they didn’t sign up for the ODL or the WAL, cannot be worked overtime on more than 4 of 5 days, over 10 hours on a regularly scheduled day, over 8 hours on a nonscheduled day, or over 6 days in a service week.

JCAM Page 8-21

For purposes of overtime on a non-scheduled day or on other than their own assignment, carriers on the Work Assignment List are treated exactly the same as any other fulltime carriers not on the ODL They may only be required to work overtime under the provisions of Article 8.5.D

Therefore, WAL carriers mandated on their SDO are also limited to 8 hours. PERIOD!

What's the remedy for this? Start with an additional 50% for all hours worked in violation of these workhour limits just like the other ones. I have been getting them paid at Formal A, Step B, and Pre-arbitration.

How many of you are filing this Article 8.5F? If not, ask yourself why not?

They are being upheld by the B team and at pre-arbitration at this time. Step B is precedential in the installation from which it arose. So, guess what. I will be filing on this eternally, to infinity and beyond.

Until next time brothers and sisters, don’t let them get away with anything

Little Victories

By: Krista Beals, Vallejo Shop Steward

It wasn’t too long ago that the Vallejo Post Office was so shorthanded that carriers were working 70-80 plus hours per week over 6 days per week. It was demanded and expected of them to show up for work and just get the mail delivered no matter the cost. Carriers were becoming so exhausted and disenchanted at the circumstances of their work environment but did their best anyway to get the job done. Some days there were entire routes that were not getting delivered because we didn’t have enough people. This went on for about a year before things finally started to change.

As we all know, Article 8 of our National Agreement limits carrier work hours to 12 hours per day and 60 hours per week (20 hours of overtime) and limits PTFs and CCAs to 11.5 hours per day. When management violates the National Agreement by working carriers beyond these limits, we file grievances. Every week we file the same grievances to the point where it almost seems pointless when management doesn’t seem to want to stop violating the Contract. But, we do it anyway, we keep filing the grievances because they do make a difference if we stay consistent and build on the little victories.

In Vallejo, we filed these Article 8 grievances every week for carriers working beyond the work hour limits. And during this time some carriers were working 10-15 hours OVER the workhour limits week after week. We slowly added and adjusted the language in the grievance remedies starting with “cease and desist” and then adding from the National Agreement for management to acknowledge “the 12 - and 60 - hour limits are absolutes. A full-time employee may neither volunteer nor be required to work beyond those limits. Management agrees that this is a citable cease and desist working Regular Carriers beyond 12 hours per day, 60 hours weekly (including any type of leave) and working CCAs and PTFs beyond 11.5 hours a day” and then started adding and building the language on the monetary remedy as well.

Over time we were able to build the monetary remedy up from the standard 50% hourly rate to 100% hourly rate for all hours worked beyond the workhour limits. Then when management finally realized exactly how much these violations were costing them, they stopped resolving the grievances with us. We started sending these grievances up to Step B of the grievance process every week. It took a little time, but Step B team began to uphold our 100% rate and even calling it the “established remedy of an additional 100% of the straight time rate for all hours worked over the work hour limits”. This was a BIG win as it set the monetary remedy in Vallejo at DOUBLE what the standard remedy for this type of violation.

Some offices right now are facing the same state of short staffing resulting in overwhelming work hours. What I will say to the carriers and stewards is; file the grievances, weather through the challenges together and build on the little victories because they add up to more than you think.

Steward Recognition

By Terrence Lee Super, Fourth Vice President

I say this all the time, recognizing people is very important because it shows how much you appreciate what they do. Letter Carriers are the most trusted and appreciated workers in the United States of America. That is a powerful statement, and Letter Carriers deserve that title as being what I just mentioned. In my article this week I would like to reiterate my appreciation to my Stewards. I personally got recognition awards for each of them and had the awards engraved with a little something personal about each one. I couldn’t get pictures for all of them with their awards, but I presented awards also to the following not pictured stewards: Chief Shannon ‘Che’ Perez, and Zabryana James of Fairfield and Dilpreet Kaur of Livermore

For my new Stewards Dwayne Hunt of Walnut Creek, and Latritaha Ingram of Livermore, I got these awards before I appointed you as Stewards. I want to send a special thanks to you both for stepping up and doing one of the most difficult jobs, and that’s representing your fellow carriers. Thank you all for doing such an exemplary job in protecting your carriers, and to everyone out there be safe and thank you all for delivering America’s mail.
