CLEVELAND — New allegations of problems now coming out of the main Cleveland Post Office. Some postal workers said they’re not being paid correctly for overtime, and when they are paid, it’s with money orders.

“It makes me…It makes me very upset,” said Bre’Ahnna McNairy from Cleveland. She told us she had been working as a clerk at the main Cleveland Post Office for more than a year now. “I have some days where I don’t… I’m like is it even worth going to work today? Is it worth doing overtime because I’m not going to see the money,” McNairy said
That’s one of the problems pointed out in a January 8, 2021 charge filed with the National Labor Relations Board against the USPS in Cleveland. It states the organization “failed to pay multiple employees” for overtime within the last six months.
McNairy said managers told her the pay problems would all be taken care of. “‘We’ll figure out how much we owe you,’” said McNairy quoting her managers. However, so far, the workers said no solution has been found.
Maybe the supervisors from Richmond, Va. were outsourced to Ohio after they got caught doing the same. This is a time honored technique that’s been going on for years, though the money order aspect is new. Bet you a hundred their clock rings were altered. Anybody seen the new ethics posters?
When management isn’t doing their job excuses are invented to cover their lazy work day. However when a bargaining unit employee isn’t working as required, that employee is disciplined. A few years ago in Richmond, VA. a clerk was placed up for removal for failure to maintain schedule. The union filed a grievance and found out the stupidvisors were subtracting work hours from the time cards. The P.M. retired from Richmond, VA. and the stupidvisors were sent to other stations. Nobody in management ever faced any discipline at all. Same crap from management, just different day!
