The APWU shall not engage in any acts intended to prevent the Postal Service from successfully establishing or maintaining business relationships with potential or existing Approved Shippers, VPO or CPU program customers for a twelve month period of time commencing with the effective date of the 2015 National Agreement.
The above paragraph is a straight up sell out on behalf of the APWU. It does say the APWU and Mgmt may still work out the Staples issue, however as I read it any activity such as the various protests before would not be allowed.
MVS as usual looks like they took it again, in fact I would say the 2010 contract was much better, not that national did a damn thing as far as getting any work back as provided by the contract. Yes a moratorium on future contracting, however current contracts cannot be challenged, even at renewal, in fact they can add “service points” as needed… this mean work PVS could have had ?
Read all 50 pages, you’ll be disappointed.
Hey Bill Burrus, how’s this contract look to ya? You were so critical of the 2010 you even became the quasi campaign mgr for the current e-board.

“Very happy for the PSEs, but the level 6 working the window everyday was left behind as well as the clerks in F1” ? Left behind with a No Layoff Clause, a 50 Mile Limit on Excessing, and a 40 Hour Guarantee, seems like we were left with Job Security to me. COLAs and raises that cover the Health Ins. Premium increase mean we won’t fall behind financially. Left Behind Who? How?

If this contract was actually arbitrated instead of a dog and pony show, I would agree with you sister. Look who was our arbitrator, Phil Tabitta maybe the greatest mind at HQ but a light weight on an arbitration panel such as this. Look at the postal service’s arbitrator, a staff attorney, and yes another light weight. This agreement/arbitration was worked out between President Dimondstein and Tullino a long time ago. Look at the rural carriers settling first, just doesn’t happen unless they have a pretty good idea what were getting. Then Goldberg relies heavy on such a smaller craft with no similar work activities. Talk with members of the rank and file and ask them if mostly all of the non-economic issues were all worked out? I am very happy for the PSEs, but the level 6 working the window everyday was left behind as well as the clerks in F1. My opinion of course.

How is an arbitrator decision a sell out? APWU didn’t make that statement. I feel like APWU made our wishes known well. Yes, we didn’t get everything we asked for, but how can you blame the administration for the arbitration?
