There are simple facts that can’t be ignored. Our union has ZERO leverage in negotiations. This is why every contract goes to arbitration. The only raise we can count on right now is from getting out of the union and saving the $$.

No carrier should start out with no less than 28 dollars cca jobs are just as dangerous as tto no more than 4 or 5 years after making regular to hit top rate

Sir, after the strike in 1970 the NALC went to court to become the sole representative for all carriers. There’s no merging with the teamsters, there’s no merging with other postal unions and there will be no creation of a second, third or fourth union to represent carriers. It’s illegal to do the former that’s why it has never been done. Whether you like it or not we got the NALC and nothing is going to change that.

You know what's not fair? I've worked for the post office for 17 years and still haven't reached the top pay. I was a city carrier transitional employee ( TE) for years, then I became a CCAs, losing $6 because they said they were getting away from the PTF program. Then, you look up, and they've brought back the PTF program, but they didn't bring back our pay. Now I'm three or four steps away from the top pay. That sucks. I started at 28 years old, and now I'm 45. Lol.

Ok so you have been in the postal service for 7 years. Right? I think that is what you said. Here’s where I don’t understand your mentality. You are on the same pay scale as the most senior carriers. Right? So what’s the problem? We are all going to end up at top pay according to the pay scale. And what did you expect? Did you think Renfroe was going to walk into contract negotiations like Conner McGregor and the USPS was just going to sign whatever we wanted? And by the way contract negotiations started February 20, 2023 so to date we are at 550 days.

The only thing we can do now is be patient. Today marks the 550th day of contract negotiations. The long they take the more the back pay will be. Here’s how long the former contracts took you negotiate and you can’t blame Renfroe because the current contract is his first as president. 2019-2023 took 535 days. 2016-2019 took 444 days. 2011-2016 took 417 days. 2006-2011 took 322 days. 2001-2006 took 217 days. 1998- 2001 took 303 days.
