This Episode of Parcels of Knowledge is about how The Postal Service has paid 1 Billion Dollars in Grievance Payouts! Think about that. While you’re out there grinding in the elements, fighting for every click of overtime, management is treating our National Agreement like a suggestion—and they’re using a billion dollars of funds to pay the 'penalty' for their own arrogance. Is it incompetence, or is it a deliberate strategy to break the spirit of the City Letter Carrier? Today, we’re breaking down where that money went, and why it’s happening. Buckle up. We’re going into the numbers, and it’s not going to be pretty.
