Yeah but 1.3% raises? In this economy? Actual joke. They spent 20 months on this contract negotiation and that's all they give us. The AC in the trucks was already in the works with the rollout of the NGDVs and the Metris vans they're using as holdovers so that's almost pointless.

My coworkers have already stated their displeasure with this contract so the members might vote against it.

It's a mild cheese, tastes somewhat similar to mozzarella IMO, texture is very soft almost like cake icing. It was off putting to me at first but now I love it

Several Brazilian pizzas have corn, my favorite example is with linguiça, catupiry, caramelized onions and corn.

I went to a Savers (local thrift store chain) about a month ago and they had a boxed Wii console in the glass case. It was used, not sealed, and they wanted $350 for it. I asked the guy if that was a mistake and he told me it was indeed the listed price. "I know for a fact this will never sell at this price because it's been here for over a year."

Some of these employees are just putting crazy prices.

In layman's terms, they wanna move carriers to sorting facilities to cut down on cost for shipping mail to local offices. This could cause carriers who live in the towns the deliver in, like myself, to drive upwards of 45 minutes to an hour away to a sorting facility (this number is based on what my office's situation would be, could vary office to office). After clocking in and sorting our routes, we would then have to drive back that same amount of time to town to deliver, then drive that far back to return to office.

You can see the issue here, sure you're cutting on transportation costs to local offices, but you're now spending a lot more on carriers fuel in the already inefficient mail trucks to drive back and forth to their routes. We wouldn't get compensated for the milage and time going to and from the new office and it would lengthen our days because of the new drive time. That being said, if that drive time is accounted to our routes, our routes are supposed to be adjusted to 8 hours total time for normal mail volume. Now you're adding that much time, you gotta cut deliveries per route. Now you have to add more routes to compensate, which means paying more salaries to cover said routes. Sure it's good for us as carriers because routes need readjusting anyway, but is not the cost saving measure they think it is.

Edit: Another idea they've had is create regional delivery offices where 3 or more towns are in a single building, but this can cause the same issue, and in some regions it may not be possible due to the distance between offices in highly rural areas such as the Great Plains.

TLDR: will cause more problems than it solves.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk

Damn, I remember watching RvB when it was still just cropped gameplay footage with the reticle visible on the screen. I have the Blu-ray box set of seasons 1-10 and the Chorus Trilogy. After Monty died everything kinda started going downhill. Final nail in the coffin I guess.
