When the pandemic shut everything down, the US Postal Service was vital in ensuring people across the nation could get the goods and products they need. But a new report found the postal workers who delivered those goods are being cheated of pay they deserve, and the agency is hardly being held accountable.on Tuesday that revealed the USPS"regularly cheats" mail carriers out of their pay.
"Supervisors found to be cheating were rarely disciplined — often receiving only a warning or more training," the report said."In four cities, arbitration documents show, post office managers continued to alter time cards after promising union leaders they would stop." Mail carriers said their managers are under pressure to keep overtime costs down, and even if they were working much longer than an eight hour day, they were told in some cases to clock out at eight hours and keep working without pay.
Mail carriers told Public Integrity they think managers keep docking their hours because managers' annual pay raises depend on keeping overtime spending down. USPS did not comment on whether pay raises are linked to overtime spending.
This is terrible 😢
Maybe Louis DeJoyless has some answers for us.
