Default Punished!

The underling was punished under the policy of the USPS and Federal guide lines. He was allowed to keep his job but would receive only 85% of his yearly bonus. He will not be allowed to steal high dollar baseball cards, only commons. His union has vowed to fight the action taken. It should be resolved June, 2021

That sounds about right.

Although; even though he needs to forfeit 15% of his yearly bonus, he will be granted 3 months paid leave while the trial commences, and still accrue his bonus during that period.

Stories like this make me shake my head. I often forget the immense trust that we put into people when we mail a package. All it takes is one bad apple to make something disappear.

I see. Thanks for clearing this up for me Sam. Since I am a tax payer, I hope my tax dollars will go to an attorney for Bu so he can have his name cleared and given a promotion at the USPS, and this " misunderstanding " will be forever erased from the records. It will be as though it never happened.

Default Stealing

Hi Lou,
FYI, the Postal Service has not received any tax dollars since the early 1970's. All of our revenue is generated from our products and services.

Anyway, I hope this loser gets fired, loses his pension, and ends up in prison. Things like this make me sick and we should have zero tolerance.

This guy is a supervisor, so he does not have a union to back him. He does have a professional organization called NAPS, (National Association of Postal Supervisors), who will be forced to provide him with representation to help him save his job, but I think he will lose and will be fired. His rep is not a lawyer, but someone who is trained to help managers who are in trouble. His defense will be paid for by NAPS, not by the Postal Service or by taxes.

I do believe there will also be criminal charges, and he will need to retain his own lawyer for those charges.

Rick

Rick,

I have bought from you before on ebay, and loved the items. You are a 100% trustworthy seller.

Default Sorry about the confusion!

Rick,
My post was a tongue in cheek comment concerning why the employee who had been arrested earlier for stealing mail still had his job. It was in response to a question posed by Lou. No where in the article did it say the underling still had his job. Hopefully he was fired. The USPS does an amazing job day in and day out. In no way was I trying to demean Postal workers at all.

As were my comments. I am on the record as never having any problems or difficulties with the USPS.
