NALC Branch 82 in Portland Has Grievance Payout of $50 For Each Delivery Incident After Sunset
“Every year, Groshell estimates, 98 percent of Portland letter carriers get the equivalent of their entire dues back in grievance settlements. Short-staffing is the rule in post offices across the country. But “we are, I think, the only place in the country that has specific language about delivery after dark,” Groshell says. “If we have to be out after sunset, it triggers a grievance payment of $50 for each incident.” That adds up, especially in the winter when the sun sets early and there are lots of holiday packages to deliver.”
