This is a historical piece putting on record the past pilot program where management allowed t6 strings to manage themselves. The carriers were in charge of their own leave approval, their own overtime, their own volumes and their own expectations. At a time where employees had such an input on their own workplace conditions, did this program work? Was it helpful? Why did it stop? We interview those who were involved in these work teams, go over a document explaining the employee involvement committees, and get on record exactly what it means for letter carriers to manage themselves.
In this Episode of Parcels Of Knowledge we talk about a few things. The main thing we talk about is 7 different phrases that management hates when you use them right, they are very important for defending yourself, so please memorize them for future use.
