[USPS] Any clutchfans work at the USPS blackhole in north houston?

My last batch of shipments made it out of the Missouri City blackhole. Going to slow down on selling stuff on eBay for a while. Fedex and UPS are too expensive in most cases.

 

How about you bump or create a USPS D&D thread for this tripe so you can be educated on why your daddy Trump is the reason USPS is in the state it's in and how he was the impetus behind the rise of Amazon Prime's fleet?

 

1 employee killed, another in custody in workplace shooting at Missouri City postal facility: USPS

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- One person was killed and another is in custody in an act of workplace violence at a USPS Processing Facility in Missouri City late Monday night, according to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
Both people involved were employees. Kevin J. Hines, 35, died at the scene, according to authorities. Derrick Lott, 24, has been charged with murder.

The violence erupted at the postal facility located at 611 Highway 90 Alt at about 9:45 p.m.

Authorities with Missouri City police and USPS first responded to the facility for a report of an active shooter, said Dana Carter, an inspector with the Houston Division of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.

"I can confirm that there was one individual involved. That individual is in custody and the community is safe," Carter told ABC13. "At this time, there is one victim. That person is deceased, and again, this is an active investigation. We are going to continue to work through that process as we get ready to notify next of kin."

I have heard that very little if any Mail & Packages were sent out from that facility Tuesday morning. Perhaps they have reduced staff this evening, so they could be in a similar situation as they were a year ago with slow turn arounds on what gets sent out to the Post Offices served by the Missouri City facility.

 

I was waiting on a parcel from overseas and checked tracking:

Truck accident.

Could this be related? Crazy ****.

 

Truck Accident?

 

Yeah it's bad man. Got one package stolen at my own damn mailbox. Good thing I have a P.O box now. Even though I'm paying monthly for it. Can't trust these thieves in the work force. They all in it

 

Even after a year, I have heard that operations at the Missouri City facility still aren't what they should be. Operations at the Beechnut PO have been flawed for years and I would imagine that they have had different people at the Postmaster level during those years.

In the military, I think they find it easier to turnaround flawed situations than the USPS is able to turnaround its flawed situations. In the military, they can change out the leadership and some at the NCO level for

• Units
• Bases
• Ships

and impact a negative situation because the newly installed leadership and NCO types aren't as restricted as their equals in the USPS system. Whether it is via transfers or really forcing discipline, the military can send a clear message to its Problem Children.

As long as the Problem Children in the USPS system don't screw up too badly, they will keep their jobs. I doubt that a modest to larger size USPS facility would be able to quickly (1 month or less?) transfer out all of its Problem Children and still keep operations running at a decent level.


There is also some similarity to the NBA when teams are considering trades.

Why should I send out my good workers for the Problem Children from other USPS facilities?

 

Your PO Box is at the Beechnut PO (Just East of Kirkwood X Beechnut intersection) or at the Alief PO (Kirkwood X Bellaire intersection)?

 

I agree that it is a system problem and that is why I used the military as being different from the USPS in regards to forcing changes.


In this scene, Captain Holmes is lacking in leadership in regards to the fight. Officers seniors to him are on the balcony and observe the failure of Holmes. At the very end of the scene, the two officers on the balcony look at each other and it is the equivalent to a Thumbs Down for Holmes.

There is a follow up scene were Holmes is told that he failed and basically his career is over with. The replacement for Holmes gathers the NCO types under him and tells them about how things would change from when Holmes was in charge. The NCO types saw that the Army did what they wanted/needed to do with Captain Holmes, so the Army wouldn't lose any sleep doing what they wanted/needed to do with NCO types that were out of line. I would have posted the follow up scene if I could have found it.

 

From a Comedy, but the core concept of the military being serious about doing something with screwups is the same.

 

b**** from Pakistan, what up? FOREIGN!!

 

Military is designed to be redundant. USPS is....it's there.

 

Work groups: A look at postal labor unions

More than 585,000 Postal Service employees — or about 91 percent of the organization’s total workforce — are members of a bargaining unit.

To help mark Labor Day, here’s a look at the eight bargaining units represented in USPS and the approximate number of employees they cover:

• National Postal Mail Handlers Union (NPMHU): 52,000

• National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association (NRLCA): 131,000

• Postal Police Officers Association (PPOA): 370

• American Postal Workers Union (APWU): 195,000

• National Postal Professional Nurses: 50


Additionally, these bargaining units fall under the purview of the APWU, with separate national agreements:

• Information Technology/Accounting Services: 1,000

• Human Resources Shared Service Center: 300
