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.

Topics include vehicle inspections, casing standards, DPS and spurs, PS Forms (3996, 1571, 3849), package delivery rules, safety, breaks, and how to document workload to push back against management. The guide is posted to the Parcels of Knowledge Facebook page for reference.

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. 

We held an investigative interview with Alan Gegax about his personal life and about his branch nominations. We revealed that he was a contestant on who wants to be a millionaire, and talked about his run for vice president. The link to his episode is in the episode description, its a must see!

In this episode we go over how carriers were entitled to Administrative Leave this year, to be used by September 30th. If you did not claim yours, please ensure you do within the timeframes. We also talk about the new ORNA mou that will result in more conversions in your office. 

In this Episode of Parcels of Knowledge we talk about the conversion and maximization MOUs. With more and more conversions to PTF, we need to get more well versed in the knowledge of how to maximize PTFs into a full time status.
