Go get ’em Fred! Be sure to mention several times that we would be profitable if not for the prefunding……but don’t forget to tell the whole truth- that we haven’t made the payment in 4 years and won’t make it again this year and nothing has happened because we didn’t make it, and that the prefunding actually ends this year anyway….. Go get ’em Fred! Then tell them how you’re prepared to fight for the carriers’ rights and get us another 1% on our contract, and as long as the PO promises you another 30,000 cca’s that they still won’t get any benefits because they have a career path. But don’t forget to mention that PTF’s did too who got benefits, and that you didn’t fight to keep them, as I was told from our regional rep in our regional office. I can’t wait to read about this in our Postal Record, as you are patted on the back from the other brass. Yep, I’m frusturated that we continue to get screwed over, yet the union always claims everything as a “win.” Go get ’em Fred!
