12/15/2015 – The Postal Service failed to complete processing of a $56 million payment to clerks in small offices in time for the holidays, the union has learned. Management blamed the delay on a computer glitch technicians encountered when they attempted to upload the payments, said APWU Assistant Clerk Craft Director Lamont Brooks. Payment was expected this week.
The payments are for violations of contractual limits on supervisory personnel performing Clerk Craft duties in Level 15, 16, and 18 offices, and are part of a “global settlement” of grievances on the issue.
When a new date for payment is known, the union will post an update.
As Brooks previously cautioned, “Don’t spend it before you get it!”
Oh, a computer glitch……….hmmmmmmmmmmmm, and people question why we need a union?
The amount of settlements the PO pays out on a regular basis for grievances is mind boggling. Obviously they’ve paid supervisors and postmasters for the work already performed, they are just paying it twice now (retroactively) for the clerks. Im elated they won this grievance.
Come on Man! I need the cash now. I have to go buy me a GI Joe with Kung Fu grip and some Doritos for the new Star Wars Movie shown in IMAX..
Privatize it already.
Whomever is surprised by this, raise your hand………………………………….no one ?
u’ll never get this!!!
The late payments should include the interest on the money. This is typical evil management behavior,delaying payments .
