Temporada 1
Address Searches
In this episode, we discuss how to handle address searches. These are the letters that district attorneys, or other investigators, send to the Post Office, asking whether the person named in the letter receives mail at the address indicated.
Scam Checks
This episode will discuss the "Craigslist Scam," which involves sending the victim a fake check, and having the victim take the funds from that check to pay a scammer's accomplice. I'll tell you how the scam works, and how to recognize the look of one of these envelopes.
Customers Who Don't Pick up Their Mail
What's the proper procedure for when a mailbox gets completely full with mail? We pull it out, hold it at the station for ten days, then send it back.
Notable By-Laws
I need your help. In this episode, I will discuss two passages from the by-laws of Branch 2502, and ask you questions about whether they're being obeyed. Send your answers to ClassesOfMail@gmail.com .
Remedies for Contractual Violations
In this episode, I explain the rationale behind asking for monetary remedies for contractual violations, and why the union doesn't always ask for them on a first offense.
Tell Your Steward
Stewards don't get information on violations automatically forwarded to them. Stewards don't usually know when the contract is violated, unless they happen to be present to witness it. We rely on YOU to tell us when these things happen.
Union Meetings
What goes on at union meetings, and why should you attend?
The Mailbox is Postal Property
We are the only ones who are supposed to put mailable matter in the mailbox. Here's what to do if you find packages or advertisements in the mailbox without USPS postage.
Constituent Services
Do you have a cluster box on your route that's been waiting for ages to be re-keyed? Here's a way you can get the Post Office to finally do something about it.
Delivering Your Hand-Off First
When you're given auxiliary assistance (a hand-off), should you deliver it before or after your route? This episode has your answer. I'll also cover what happens if management takes away a portion of our assigned route, so that you work less than 8 hours on our own route.
