It has come to out attention that recent retirees are eligible to collect unemployment insurance. Some are getting over $500.00 per week! I don't know if it's true, but it's free to apply and you can do it online.

 
What! 11/02/2009
 
No more nutting trucks? Yep, that's what they want. T
 
Crappy Weather 10/24/2009
 
Rain, rain, rain. This weather sucks!
 
 
     No COLA, AGAIN! What a crock. When gas goes up it's not a factor in the COLA, when it goes down, IT IS! Just wait till Christmas shopping begins, then tell me things haven't gone up.

 
 
182 mail will start coming to the Valley Oct 5th. It will be phased in over a period of weeks. This is very good for us at the Valley. With many other plants closing, ours continues to grow. More jobs may come too. At this time no one knows how many transfers we'll get ,if any.
If you are retiring soon, please stop by the Union office and fill out a retirement form. We'll put you on the list for a gold watch.
Stay Strong
 
 
Tour re-compression seems to be on the back burner. I am hopefull all vacant jobs will be posted on the 25th. We need to get our people situated before WB sends anyone here. Sweedsboro L&DC is also closing. Aproximately 200 mail handlers to be re-assigned. They are less then 100 miles from here so who knows if we'll get any. We don't know any more at this time.
 
 
Wilkes-Barre Post Office is closing, 44 mail handlers are scrambling for jobs. Phila is excessing 81 mail handlers out to 100 miles!. 
 
 
    Are we government owned? I know we’re not a private company. But sometime it seems the government doesn’t want to know us. Other times they think we’re their own personal piggy bank. But who really owns the Postal Service. The Government works for us, or at least they’re supposed to, so I guess we own it.  Too bad we don’t control it. So I say with confidence, we the employees, own the Postal Service. Take that anyway you want. I take it to mean I’m working for myself, so I’d better do a good job if I want the PO to be around when I retire. While management counts the mail, we’ll deliver it.

Stay Strong.
