On this episode of Parcels of Knowledge we review a newly updated Letter Carrier Route Protection Guideline by Jamie Gregory, explains key carrier rights, and walks through practical AM, street, and PM procedures to protect eight‑hour routes.

Good morning—this episode is a brief announcement: I posted a GoFundMe to cover mailing costs for my run for vice president. My fundraising goal for postage is $600 (likely closer to $1,000) to reach more voters.

Anything raised beyond the $600 postage goal will be donated to a branch member who needs a wheelchair-accessible van for her child. If you’re in Metro Detroit, you can also help through a local bottle drive.

Their Data, Your Victory, Digging Into Grievance Gold. This episode is about using the various TACs reports that are at our disposal to be able to prove your burden of proof in any grievance. Today we start with TACS and if stewards like this one I will move onto the other systems like DOIS.

This episode is about building a better casefile, although it has a focus on the stewards any carrier can listen in because its sometimes reliant on what information a greivant is willing to give their steward!

In this episode we talk about the infamous Postal Purgatory that management is placing carriers in to harass and intimidate those who they don't like, and how our union isn't doing enough to protect us from this. We are watching you and we expect better. This isn't an attack, but a call for action framed from a constructive anger, rather than a punitive one. If injustice angers you, this episode is not for you.
