On June 28, 2018, the United States Postal Service concluded its pay consultations with the National Association of Postal Supervisors (NAPS) and provided NAPS with a final pay decision for Executive and Administrative Schedule (EAS) employees for the period from 2016 through 2019. In NAPS’s view, the decision will not provide for sufficient catch-up increases for the earlier years and will not result in pay increases in 2019 for the majority of approximately 45,000 Postal Service supervisors, managers, postmasters, technical specialists, and others covered by the Executive and Administrative Schedule. In addition, the pay decision fails to adequately address other issues involving the pay and benefits of all EAS employees. NAPS regrets that USPS rejected a set of alternative proposals NAPS provided at the start of pay consultations in October 2017.
The NAPS resident officers briefed the National Executive Board on the pay decision on July 1, 2018, and the Board authorized NAPS to enter into the factfinding process provided by law to challenge the Postal Service’s decision, under the auspices of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. The National Executive Board concluded that the Postal Service’s pay decision does not adequately address important EAS pay issues and is likely to damage already-poor morale within the EAS. Furthermore, the USPS pay decision fails to meet the statutory requirements that the Postal Service: (1) provide compensation that is comparable to that in the private sector; (2) assure that the compensation is sufficient to attract and retain qualified and well-motivated supervisors and managers; and (3) provide for reasonable pay differentials between supervisors and the clerks and carriers they supervise.
NAPS’s decision to enter into fact-finding is the second time that the association has pursued such a challenge since it became available in 1980. NAPS will provide further information to the membership about developments in the fact-finding process as they become available.
Their organization’s acronym is NAPS.
How fitting.
There’s a reason these clowns don’t get paid what their private sector counterparts do…. It’s because these clowns wouldn’t be hired by the private sector.
These diversity GED clowns couldn’t get a job at McDonald’s….that’s why none of these delusional clowns ever leave the postal service….so quit your complaining or get the hell out.
all 45,000 ” not worth a tinkers damn”!
pay raise to drink coffee 40 hours a week….you are way overpaid as it is.
Wow! I wonder how anyone of you would feel if your raises were frozen for 4 years, and when they were finally allowed, you only got 2%? The support staff do not get large raises. There are higher level managers/postmasters/area/hq staff that make a lot more money than the lowly support specialists do as well as get larger raises, and retention bonuses….
Your raises should have been frozen and should continue to be. Here’s a simple scenario for you; if clerks, carriers, etc. don’t show up, the mail does not get delivered, etc.
When EAS doesn’t show up…………………crickets. Mail STILL gets delivered, etc.
In other words, EAS contributes NOTHING to the movement or delivery of the mail.
Overpaid and underworked = EAS. While craft positions have been slashed, EAS ranks have GROWN over 20% the last few years……….all while they cry how broke we are.
well said EAS workers are nothing but bean counters.. they report daily information to another bean counter to be recorded and contribute nothing to the delivery of mail. A minimum wage secretary could do the same job. Management create more work related problems then necessary. without management the working staff would do a better job without the daily stress
If you’re not happy then apply for management jobs in the private sector…you might be in for a rude awakening when you find out you can’t even get an interview….losing billions and having an FMLA case number doesn’t look good on a resume in the real world.
good old Mid-Island PD&C-half the work staff is on limited/lite/IOD injury status. Plant Manager is clueless, Senior MDO is the biggest moron on the planet, yet they let her run wild on all three tours and is destroying the place faster than you can say black hole of Calcutta. it is as if they are trying to destroy the place on purpose by keeping her in the position. where is the VP of Northeast Operations……..hiding under a rock? glad I got out March 31st! Trump should just administrator the coup de gras and put the postal circus out of its misery.
do we really need postmasters? dumb them all or consolidate them. hell one pm should be able to run 2 or 3 offices at one time. watch out, amazon is getting ready to roll out it’s own delivery service. they train you for 3 weeks and you drive a van to deliver their packages. if amazon pulls the plug po will only be a shell of itself.
same at Mid-Island PD&C 117/119 in 1998 it was the leading Plant…..now it is a hollowed out, former shell of itself. real estate it sits on is worth 75-100 million, so I guess it will be sold off like Sears is doing. your 5 year time frame is right on(1st class mail is dropping like a rock-junk mail is also way down)…..I retire next year or if Trumps approves a Buyout………….thank God I will make it to the finish line. what these dopes did to the Post Office is criminal.
At the San Bernardino P&DC we can see the writing on the wall, closing our plant in less than 5 years is my guess. Equipment breaking down and not being replaced, not enough mules or forklifts. Not reposting jobs when people bid out, overtime given daily and people working 6 days a week. Automation clerks making over $90,000 a year because of overtime.
EAS; the most underworked and overpaid employees in the USPS.
Bill is obviously a supervisor or the husband of a supervisor, guaranteed!
Let Then Eat Cake……IOD Muffin Megan will take care of the donuts! want a raise? go find an elevator!
End the 204b program. No volounteer supervisors. Promotions are rewards for good work ethic, demonstrated competence and decent intra personal skills. Any management position above supervisor requires a degree, an MBA or something technical that screens our the lazy and inept. Flush out the current mess we have now and replace them even if you have to hire from the outside.
If they were to require a degree or an MBA for middle to upper management they wouldn’t be able to fill those positions.
maybe they will get that big 1% yearly raise………wow its a kings ransom!
Compensate well-motivated supervisors! REALLY! I have not met a supervisor or a postmaster worth their weight in shit.These pricks are WAY overpaid ! We had a postmaster here in worcester that was making $117,000 a year, and all he did was abuse and intimidate, and that got him a nice upgrade and promotion in New York. All these fucks should be in jail.
They’re overpaid as it is, don’t give them another dime! Bunch of idiots and losers who couldn’t handle real work!
You guys are just mad because they are to the P.O. what Eddie Vedder is to Pearl Jam.
These salaries need to be cut. What a waste of money when you can hire a lead clerk and hire a couple of extra workers in every office. We might be able to provide some good customer service. They are overpaid and something needs to be done about this.
Level 18 Postmasters 84,000 a year.
Level 21 -22 Postmasters 112,000 a year.
District Managers 189,000 a year.
Love hearing unskilled labor making in some cases $100k a year complaining all the time. Try going to another company with your tremendous skill of putting a letter in the mailbox and see how much can make.
August 10, 2018…..a day that will live in postal infamy…….a raise ha……Trump is going to cut them. GAO already said this week that Postal Circus mismanagement raised themselves 25% in staff while cutting the workers 40%……how do you Trump will handle that! 40K Buyout is on its way….hang in there! AMZN stock $1708.45 today!
Go to stuporvisor with a staffing issue – my DBCS partner never showed up. He on his personal laptop computer… he takes off his headphones (??) and says he’s too busy with his training and he’ll get back to me. I see in the reflection of the window behind his desk, he’s watching a baseball game. I ask who’s winning and he closes his laptop and repeats he’s busy and will get back to me. I go back to my machine and work by myself. Normally we have 1st pass finished before lunch but I’m still feeding mail and shutting down the machine periodically to sweep full stackers. I shut it down for lunch. Stuporvisor wandered by machine and noticed it still had 1st pass mail to run, instead of ready to start 2nd pass. He finds me in the breakroom eating lunch and lays into me on what is going on. I told him “I’m busy eating lunch and, to use your words when I approached you before with the staffing problem, I will get back to you later”. Blank stare by him and then it hit him. Needless to say, we missed dispatch despite a group effort in the end, which rested on his shoulders.
These toolbags should be giving money back to the PO.
Sitting around drinking coffee and figuring out ways to
increase their PFP bonuses are the most work they do
in month. Bottom of the barrel slugs from day one.
99% should be fired. Losers, one an all.
NO PAY INCREASE THATS BECAUSE YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB,RUNNING THE POST OFFICE OUT OF BUSINESS…YOU SHOULD GIVE MONEY BACK FOR ALL THE YEARS YOU STOLE FROM POSTAL SERVICE BY SITTING AT YOUR DESK AND DOING NOTHING ..MOST SDO AND MMO WERE DO NOTHING CRAFT EMPLOYEES ANYWAY.. IN RICHMOND VA PDC THE MMOS AND RICKY BOY ARE AFRAID OF THERE JOBS AND JUST KISS THE PLANT MDO RING..{A.S]
This is a joke.
They promote anyone.
They should be demoted to CCA and if they can’t do the job fired.
Our PM works an hour a day then takes a five hour lunch.
What a bunch of scumbags.
Mailmen should make more than stupidvisors…A Lot more…They sit on their ass all day…Cut their pay or your FIRED!!!!
PO offered the deadwood what they are worth? Now thats a fact.
And you want a buy out? Silly carriers and their dreams of buyouts, mental masturbation at it’s finest.
ET…..now that’s a joke……….69K to vacuum up paper dust! most are related to the mismgt dummies that caused the postal circus bankruptcy.
these losers ran the place into the dirt and want pay like private sector….in the private sector all 45,000, no university bums would be fired…funny thing is none of the uneducated, low IQ bums would have been hired by the private sector in the first place. President Trump please give us a 40K Buyout so we can get away from these losers who are in the hole for 210 Billion in liabilities. the postal circus is bankrupt and these trash want a raise….priceless!
Postal supervisors should be paid what they are worth….. minimum wage.
So does this mean they can tell management to shove their final pay proposal? they are non-bargaining employees who are already overpaid and management has the right to set their pay and since they don’t have the right to binding arbitration as the unions do, a mediator can’t compel management to give them what they wan’t. Management needs to stand firm on this.
Supervisors are over paid as it is, I’m a custodian and the biggest part of my day is doing management work cause they pass the buck.
In my experience the biggest part of most postal custodians day is spent trying to find creative hiding places so no one will se that they actually do nothing. Come on David, you know its true.
Here,everyone see’s that the overstaffed custodial crew does almost nothing all day.They all sit in the break rooms and cafeteria watching TV..
That’s the way we like it 😛
postal workers are like pigs, they like to wallow in dirt. why would I interfere with their wallowing while there is a football game in the break room?
