RDRuckus -- "They gave them to us, said it was an order by district. I timed the use for two weeks, submitted numbers with a written, round dated request for a base hour change. Abrasive PM was livid, said I was being petty and threatened me with unfair count come Sept. (Yes, I documented it. I'd better not even smell any retaliation.) "
-- Sounds as if you and the PM need to mosey over to the office bulletin board to review the USPS policies on "Bullying", "Harassment", "Threats" - especially to one's pay.
-- Or better yet have your Assisant District Representative accompany the PM.
-- Is the PM sure of a Count this September? Any reference he would care to share?
