Mike Gallagher and other former members of the Leadership Team supported the following and continue to support these give backs that have set us back 20 years. We continue to lose from the last contract and the new contract has offered very little relief.
* The reduction of the 40 hour work week to 30 hours
* The 25% reduction in pay
* The increase of non career employees from 6% to 20%
* Requiring veterans and other new hires to work as PSEs for an indefinite period before becoming career
* That current employees should receive $500,000 over their careers and retirement than the generation that replaces them
* Paying 4 different wage rates for performing the same work
* That postal employees should reduce their pay and benefits so rate discounts can continue (source Former President Bill Burrus)
The present Eastern Regional Coordinator supported these concessions. Gallagher stated:
“I am proud to have had the opportunity to have been involved in some of the negotiations sessions on what has to be seen as a historic agreement in these difficult times. I urge you to carefully review the terms of the tentative agreement and vote “yes” to ratify the contract. Thx. Mike.”

WE must not reward officers who now hide under the new Members Unity Team. We must continue to hold them accountable.
