A WHOLE 1.1% from March 3, 2018. That's a whole lot of money. I think I go on a bender for about a week with all that money

That raise won't cover my drink costs tonight as I prep for a few games of 9 ball at the local watering hole. It won't even cover the buy in at $5 per game after 2-3 games at step 12.

Put mine toward the Save the PO fund. NOT! How about a Fund for better Union Representation? Right On!

It’s bigger than my next Step raise so I’m good with that!

These Step increases do become rather meager as you're hitting the later steps...

After taxes, inflation, you have just lost 7% in wages.

I cancelled my dues withholding from the NRLCA, and called it my cruise dues. Every time I stepped off a cruise ship in Bermuda I raised a pint at Calico Jacks in Dockyard toasting my decision to better use my money.

When I was at orientation a long time, I was asked if I wanted to be in the union, I had no idea what I was in for, so I was like, no thanks. It certainly appears that was the right decision.

We got to keep Amazon, UPS, and Fedex making BIG profit$! Why does the PO allow these companies to keep the cream and drop the crap on us? These companies are cutting their on expenses, keeping the big shipping fees, while dumping it at PO to get us to take it to their customers doorstep for pennies on the dollar while we get 0-Zero for taking it a 1/2 mile to their door in my POV!

Does this make any financial since to anybody????

It’s the postal way. I’ve always thought… I don’t know why they don’t charge Amazon for a premium delivery fee on Sunday. We end up paying more in overtime, keeping the lights on one more day and not to mention the already dying LLV is being put in the shop more than ever.
