There's the JCAM, which is the Joint Contract Administration Manual, which is what the post office and the union use as the interpretation of the contract. That way we are not arguing and spending time about what the contract could mean. We can just focus on whether or not someone broke our agreement.

So after this, one would imagine that a quasi-federal institution would honor the contract that was created, bargain in good faith, and treat their employees fairly.

Yeah, absolutely not. Before we get into issues that we face today... I do want to say that one of the main goals of our contract negotiations or of this episode really is to create public knowledge of how our contract is not being adhered to. If there was one main goal that I'd have in mind is just to have the post office honor what they signed and agreed to do.

Which just kind of circles back to one of the big issues that we face is that if we were to do that, that would be a willingful delay of mail. And we could be charged for it just for trying to enforce the contract. Yep.

Yeah, by and large, labor laws in America are set up in favor of the businesses, of the employers. If you're familiar with workers' comp or any of the systems involved in the Federal Employees Compensation Act, It's not enforced. We have cases that are pending arbitration where someone's been run over by a worker, has been run over by a postal vehicle while they were working. The post office...

effectively takes them off of payroll to increase the damage done to the individual. Eventually, the Department of Labor says, yes, we will pay this individual and the post office is liable to pay them. But now they are off the rolls, which means there's a greater period of time before this individual gets their money.

And there's a certain form that within the post office, the managers need to fill out. I you know, all these forms have some numbers associated with them, that they just refuse to fill out. And there's no recourse. There's no path for us to take to make them hurry or make them get this individual the money that they're owed.
