Small blurb posted on the National website....  I dont know what it means and wont even begin to guess...  The nervous waiting begins.... 
 
 
 
 
For reasons that will become apparent in the Award
of Arbitrator Fishgold, the parties have no further
arbitration hearings scheduled.
We are awaiting an Award and will
update the website with the
full text as soon as it is available.

 

Rumor is that FSS will be up and running in Dulles soon.. I have pulled together a bunch of info on FSS machines... I dont think there has been an estimate on the decline of rural workload, but NAPUS says these will decrease city carrier workload by 85%... I know, I know, just like DPS right??

 

 

They are going to do it whether it works or not... And all of us out here on the front lines will pay for it....

Hello all,  I am going to start posting rural carrier information on this group blog.  Most of you already here probably already know most of these things, but I want to be sure that any one that happens upon this group or one of our profiles will get the news also...  So please just ignore any posts of information you have already heard somewhere else.... Over and out... And, by the way, hope one and all has a wonderful Turkey Day... PT

For some reason this tells me we have 11 members but it is only showing 7..   I dont know you are not all showing up.  I have contacted Tom and hopefully we can get it resolved soon....
