Speaking with another 20 year carrier that's seen much more behind the scenes than I. They were telling stories about the many times they've walked in on supervisors and managers that spend most of the day on their phones scrolling social media.
They get paid the big bucks to sit around and exert their power trips over us, while we actually get the work done and pay withheld. If management had pay withheld they'd have it fixed in a day, not a year.
USPS management may ignore grievances because they are financially incentivized to minimize overtime and other contract violations. The concern that management avoids addressing grievances to protect their bonuses is supported by employee reports. For example, managers receive bonuses based on minimizing overtime, and since grievances often result in overtime payouts, management may be motivated to avoid them.
The NRLCA does nothing but ignore or decline valid grievances. Escalate to the NRLCA execs with certified letters and no response.... yet:
