APWU Challenges Inadequate Response to Union Concerns
re: Weingarten Wallet Card
In a recent letter to the Postal Service, the APWU challenged management’s inadequate response to the union’s concerns over a wallet card for supervisors that attempts to explain employee rights under the Supreme Court’s Weingarten decision. The letter provides in detail the APWU position regarding this matter. The union encourages members to know your rights and not rely on management’s explanation of your rights.
Read a copy of the correspondence between APWU and USPS.

I actually had a stupidvisor tell me that I was not allowed to speak while I was in the office with another carrier. He told me I was only to observe and I was not to speak at all. My postmaster and stupidvisor are so f***ing stupid , that I haven’t lost a grievance in the 3 years that I have been filing. They make it to easy, there is no challenge at all.
I am a APWU steward. At a disciplinary hearing, I asked the supervisor to clarify a question. The supervisor shouted to me, “You are being disruptive and you will sit there and be quiet untill I finish my questions!”
“I said I am here to represent my member.” Befor I could say another word, he said,”You are being disruptive and this meeting is over!”
That is how the USPS supervisors are taught.
