By the time they are done with this contract they will have to start negotiating the next 3 months later.

[@371kenny]

I don't care how long it takes. Get us a good contract. Just be transparent about it!

[@derekrice5203]

Can you ask someone at NALC, what is the advantage of not being transparent with its members? Almost every other major union in this country communicates with its members except ours.

[@371kenny]

@@derekrice5203 I've been asking for 20 years. All bullshit answers. They can't tell you.

I've been a letter carrier for 26 years and I'm totally disgusted with the contract negotiations! I'm thinking of getting out of the union

No. How about you just vote the clowns out in 2 years. Don’t be a scab.

[@PSnow007]

How is that possible?

[@dannymorn5448]

Lmao

[@TheRjmayer]

Here is how it was explained to me. The arbitrators pick a bunch of dates that they're available to hear our case. Then management and the union have to agree on which of those dates they can both meet for. Management has absolutely no incentive to meet quickly. They don't pay interest or penalties on the money they owe us so it's an interest free loan from their employee's. If we have a contract by the end of this year I would consider that a win. Remember it was over 500 days for our last contract which was agreed to 3 days before the arbitrators decision. Then you have to consider that each contract cycle for the last 5 contracts has gone about 2 months longer than the previous cycle and we're looking at Nov/Dec. Backpay wouldn't be until Around April next year.

[@HarambetheWhite]

You need to run for union president. A man of tbe people who really cares about their postal brothers and sisters.

[@bigjoker9951]

It is so incredibly frustrating that our union leadership appear to not listen to our concerns nor do they adapt to the current conditions. They are stagnant. They have forgotten who they work for!! Time to send them all back to carrying mail. Though I doubt that they will do that, they will more than likely jump to management or retire. There is no logic for every single contract negotiations to last this long!! There really is not that much change from contract to contract!! What has changed is the workroom floor conditions have deteriorated exponentially over the past decade! And our union leadership have been silent. They all need to be booed off the stage at the National Convention and then voted out!! Time for change from our leadership!!

[@5xChampion]

Got some bad news about the back pay situation. If you've read the report from the committee that investigated renfroe then you know that usps is going to be able to make a very credible argument that his shenanigans significantly delayed contract negotiations and the subsequent arbitration.

[@patrickkerner1471]

[@Orphu_IO]

I calculated my backpay the other day. $.48 COLA back to PP 19-23 Conservative 1.3% General increase back to PP 25-23. I’m step F, so that is $.35. $.17 COLA back to PP 7-24 Assuming they get us 100% COLA across the pay table, it’s proportional currently, it came out to $1,715.98. If the COLA stays the same, it probably goes down to $1,200 or so

[@RESTORED_REPUBLIQ]

Does that mean 1200 more each check?

[@Orphu_IO]

@@RESTORED_REPUBLIQ no. Since the contract expired. If we get the same bullshit raise, backpay really won’t be that much. Maybe a couple thousand.

[@MrBootgrab]

that's IF...IF ...they agree to pay past C.O.L.As...in arbitration. What is happening right now...is par for the course. This is the process... unfortunately.

[@jacobryan458]

Correct . Back pay and colas will be up to the arbitration. People don't know or remember there was no back pay for the 2013 dos arbitration

[@Nathan-lq8id]

How about just letting me get out of this do nothing Union without having to wait until my anniversary date. That’d be fine by me.

[@SaltySilverStacker]

Rural carrier contracts are up now. We get to go through what yall went through beginning, now. Yea they paid the colas, but we were under contract still.

[@michaelrodriguez5659]

Why isn't the NALC bringing up anything for working thru Covid?!

[@christenvincent2061]

Why does it take so long just for a contract?

[@Orphu_IO]

Ask Renfroe “it’s always taken this long” “Other presidents have taken a long time, so I’m going to take as long as it takes”

[@georgep2724]

Lots of calculations to do with back pay. When we finally get the contract done we are looking at one huge paycheck in the coming months. It's been a year as of today which is 2080 hours. Depending on your pay scale level we are looking at an extra $1500-2500 in the back pay check along with normal paycheck so a paycheck over$4000 will be nice. Be patient. The post office has always been fair in the past.

[@fastlane1568]

Also doesn’t account for ot…the little that we get lol

[@georgep2724]

@@fastlane1568 Exactly. Lots of calculations to do. All the overtime will be calculated also. If I remember last back pay check was like an extra $1500 so this one should be more.

Oh. I thought this was a slam about holding picnics and conventions when we have backlogged grievances and ongoing abuses. What happens at conventions? Sex, food, and door prizes. That's all I have ever heard about them. smh... Thousands of dollars of membership money spent when we could have sent more stewards to training, gotten our facilities handled, and allocated that money to the food drive, scholarships, or MDA instead of "reports" that Renfroe was evasive, but sounded positive, Barner refused to talk, but made lots of great jokes, and the rest of us had a fun time and can't wait until next year. The same people who went last year and the year before that...

[@CryptoJosh]

My union rep told me they have to negotiate for back pay it’s not a guaranteed thing. My idea is they want to completely pass over this contract like it was never a thing. They’ll skip us go straight to arb

[@coryp4200]

Anyone have an idea of what the bare minimum of a raise would look like?

[@Orphu_IO]

BARE minimum would be $.48 COLA from July 2023 1.3% General increase November 2023 $.17 COLA from January 2024 July 2024 COLA is already at $.42 and rising. I anticipate it to be around $.60-$.75. COLAs and 1%-1.3% GI for the rest of the contract

[@Indyjumpman22]

​@Orphu_IO yep.... Then I get a step increase in Oct with another general wage increase in Nov. I just started so if they can get a least a $2 raise for new starting pay I could possibly see a $4-5 jump by end of year

[@matthewborrell9268]

Can we strike if we are not under contract? Just saying

[@Orphu_IO]

The terms of the previous contract are still in effect. Even with no contract, it’s federal law. The Taft-Hartley act of 1947 made it illegal to strike the federal government.

What about cca?

[@luketyluc]

Do CCAs get COLAs/raises or do you have to wait until you make full time?

[@Orphu_IO]

CCAs do not get COLAs. Historically they have gotten a 2.1% general increase every November in lieu of getting COLAs.

[@Hemi_Tree]

Regulars…stuck making 19.33 til your 2 years is up

[@luketyluc]

@@Hemi_Treethank you!

[@CleanSlateOptimal]

This doesn’t apply to CCA’s does it? Example if we have been working 6 months do we get any back pay on hours worked or we just shut our mouths for 2 years until PTF?

[@Orphu_IO]

CCAs don’t get COLAs. The most you would get is a general increase in November. Usually 2.1%. So you’re looking at about $.42 increase for every hour since about November 18th 2023. There has been a lot of talk of changing the CCA position, so it may be worth sticking it out until the contract comes out. Good chance starting pay goes up to the $25-$26 range.

[@bossmedia4028]

I just been a year in but I don’t even understand how anything is negotiated without feedback from the carriers let alone keeping us completely in the dark. I’ve worked other union jobs in the past and nalc is a complete joke. I don’t even see the purpose of being unionized at usps. You get treated like garbage, everything is a fireable offense, wages and benefits are trash. I got two ii’s hanging over my head for 2 years because the supervisor overworked me and the union didn’t do nothing. Im thinking of just leaving the union and just lawyering up if I have to. What am I paying these losers for.

[@enzomoya1689]

Just remember lawyer's don't like to go against the gubbmint! They have bigger lawyers and will spend a milly to save a dime!

[@enzomoya1689]

Y'all just remember this fact! Management cant fux with you if you doing your job! Don't cut corners cos these fucken scanners will rat yo ass out!!! 18 years in and been thru it all!

[@joshohair2680]

7 years in. These scanners aren't even close to being accurate. I get alerted that I'm scanning a package for a location that's over 500 feet away when I'm right on the porch. I'd legally fight the scanner legitimacy proving I'm a bad employee all day due to this. Don't be afraid of management.

[@martinparrish9532]

The NALC doesn’t owe us, the Postal Service does. The NALC doesn’t pay your wages.

[@mailmanjoe]

Correct. EAS employees already got their raises. Maybe I should get into management instead. Anyone with a pulse can do it.

[@shudigg]

NALC definitely owes the carriers if they are making payments to the union. NALC may not owe the carriers a paycheck but they definitely owe them some really good news when the negotiations are finally done.
