Mail Handlers???

Recently it came to my attention that some more mail handlers from Tour 3 are looking at having their jobs excessed over in the ATU and robot cutting area. So, how will the clerks be receiving their mail over on the DBCS's? Will it be now by the pallet? Or will more clerks be excessed from Tour 3 and have to move to Tour 1 or become PTR clerks? Has anyone heard about what is going on?

I would love to hear about what is going on out at the different stations around the city and county of San Diego. Don't be shy about letting everyone know how things are going both good and bad.

Not sure how thats gonna work. Did they get rid of the whole robot operation?

Now according to Mr Know-it-All (Juancho Lim) all tour 3 is going either away or to part time. So maybe the operation will be limited to a tour one thing, with maybe some OT if tour 3 needs mail handler coverage or something.

I don't know. I don't believe Juancho either anyhow. But he does say that some supervisors are getting sent back to craft. The most junior ones. Had anybody seen the supervisors seniority list?

I heard they are looking to excess ETs off t-2 now.

I though when they did their t-2 compression and got rid of mail handlers and clerks they said it was because they wanted to make t-2 the maintenance tour?

Did they change their minds? Does that mean the excessed clerks could get retreats back to their old pay locations?

Or is this just management trying to get senior people to retire instead of going to t-3 or t-1?

Anyone know what's going to happen to manual 030, 150 044? How many clerks will be left after the reduction?

Well then what is happening to the ET's on Tour 2? Are they soon coming to Tour 1 to help me clean the DBCS's when I am done with my area assurance?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Avocado

Cultivation in California
The avocado was introduced from Mexico to the U.S. state of California in the 19th century, and has become an extremely successful cash crop. Ninety-five percent of United States avocado production is located in southern California, with 60% in San Diego County. Approximately 59,000 acres of avocados are grown in California. Fallbrook, California, claims the title of "Avocado Capital of the World", and both Fallbrook and Carpinteria, California, host annual avocado festivals.

Hass cultivar
While dozens of cultivars are grown in California, the Hass avocado is today the most common. It produces fruit year-round and accounts for the majority of cultivated avocados in the US. All Hass avocado trees are descended from a single "mother tree" that was raised by a mail carrier named Rudolph Hass, of La Habra Heights, California. Hass patented the productive tree in 1935. The "mother tree", of uncertain subspecies, died of root rot and was cut down in September, 2002.

Health benefits
High avocado intake has been shown to have an effect on blood serum cholesterol levels. Specifically, after a seven day diet rich in avocados, hypercholesterolemia patients showed a 17% decrease in total serum cholesterol levels. These subjects also showed a 22% decrease in both LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglyceride levels and 11% increase in HDL (good cholesterol) levels.

Nutritional value
About 75% of an avocado's calories come from fat, most of which is monounsaturated fat. Avocados also have 60% more potassium than bananas. They are rich in B vitamins, as well as vitamin E and vitamin K. They have the highest fiber content of any fruit - including 75% insoluble and 25% soluble fiber.

I heard a rumor that mgmt is looking at tour 1 manual clerks now that they have just damn near reduced t-3 to nothing.

Also box section supervisor is telling her people that change is coming there too.

The thing is, if you look around, you will see plenty of people, lots of great machines, equipment, and a surplus of supervisors. BUT NO MAIL. And that is going to be the end of us and our jobs, which we thought were a lifetime guarentee.

My friends at various stations say that mgmt there is doing there own studies and are talking about down sizing there too.

Then there is the national thing about closing down post offices and consolidating them with others. How does that work? Do those people come in and bump the ones already there, if the new coming ones are senior?

I don't know how that works.
