In this episode, the first of a new Wednesday series focused on CLC training, Corey lays out crucial information for letter carriers regarding six-day counts and the proper procedures for handling mail and packages, based on existing union contracts and past arbitration decisions. He emphasizes the importance of understanding and utilizing the specific sections of the USPS handbooks (M39 and M41) and other related documents (EL801, EL804, and M00994) as crucial tools in defending against management attempts to unfairly reduce carrier working time. He details specific procedures for handling various types of mail, including parcels, and the necessity of challenging management's attempts to impose arbitrary time limits or alter established practices, particularly those relating to street time, delivery procedures, and office processing. He highlights the importance of meticulous record-keeping (specifically reviewing forms 1838C, 3999, and 1840, along with carrier time records), challenging time deductions or modifications imposed by management, and utilizing past arbitration precedents to defend against unfair practices. A primary theme is the importance of carriers understanding their rights and how to document instances of management overreach, and the proactive utilization of existing contractual protections for grievance filing. Corey concludes by soliciting suggestions for a more fitting name for the new Wednesday training series.
