1 year agoYour statement is incorrect and I’m guessing it’s because you’re pushing antiunion nonsense. The reason they need the signatures by May is because that’s when the new contract goes into effect. If they drop the union before the contract, then they’d have to renegotiate their contract, lose their union stewards and representatives and… you know what, exactly the part you put in quotes.
I was responding to the statement that the unions were being sensational. They were accurately stating the facts.
It’s been a while since I looked into usps, and I’m sure someone will know more, but I know there is a difference in either the union or simply the union contract for rural workers, warehouse workers and the rest of their workforce. But if all of these issues are accurate for rural workers then they should push to replace their union leadership or change unions. Dropping union membership all together almost always impacts workers negatively in the long run.
