Starting last night, September 14th, employees at the Rochester P&DC began receiving a mandatory stand-up talk titled “USPS proposes comprehensive network changes”. As part of the talk, a video is shown with a little speech by the PMG. In a nutshell, they are releasing a list of plants to be going through an AMP study, being considered for closure or consolidation. Buffalo, NY P&DC is on that list, with the Rochester plant being pointed at as the plant to pick up the mail they “consolidate”. In addition it is mentioned the possibility of changing service standards for first class mail. A more detailed sumary can be read at : http://www.postalreporternews.net/2011/09/14/usps-list-of-mail-processing-facilities-for-possible-consolidation/. The complete list of plants can be downloaded at http://maint.pbworks.com/w/file/AMPlist.pdf.

On another note, the organization called “American Family Voices” has filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) regarding Representative Darrel Issa’s using his public position to advance his own private financial interests. An article about it can be read at http://thehill.com/homenews/house/181071-rep-issa-hit-with-ethics-allegations The full complaint letter can be downloaded at http://maint.pbworks.com/w/file/DarrellIssaLetter.pdf .

This Website is a Work in Progress

Welcome to the APWU Local #215′s website. I am slowly adding material as I tweak it here and there. I hope the stewards in the different crafts eventually choose to use the website as one more source to help keep our brothers and sisters well informed. If you are a steward and want access to contribute to the site, send me an email at RStahl@apwulocal215.com. Look forward to hearing from you.
