Voting is Your POWER<p>Letter carrier jobs were once a rare pathway to the middle class. But over the past 30 years, and with increasing intensity over the past decade, the job has become more stressful and dangerous. Attacks on letter carriers have doubled since 2019, they are dying from the heat as climate change broils the country and management demands faster delivery times, and the pay has not come close to keeping up with inflation. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/usps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>usps</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/postalservice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>postalservice</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/unions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unions</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/unionstrong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unionstrong</span></a></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/5S61H5bztg0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/5S61H5bztg0</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
Voting is Your POWER<p>Make sure to tip your mail delivery person generously this year, because the US Postal Service certainly won’t be giving them much.</p><p>There is a burgeoning revolt among city and suburban letter carriers across the country, who are pissed off about the substandard contract negotiated by their union president and Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. More than 205,000 carriers have worked for 600 days without a contract, and a growing number of members would rather extend the wait instead of accepting the terrible deal negotiated by NALC President Brian Renfroe.</p><p>The tentative agreement calls for a 1.3% annual raise, which calculates out to just $0.20 for city carrier assistants making $19 an hour. For those who have topped out on the pay scale, which takes 13 years, the raise is around $0.43 per hour. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/usps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>usps</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/postalservice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>postalservice</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/unions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unions</span></a></p>
