In the name of our Letter Carriers whose lives were lost due to the heat.... WHAT
IS THE CAP ON TEMPERATURE where we halt delivery? And WHO made management decision to SEND
LETTER CARRIERS OUT in CA while the state was told to stay at home and shelter in place while expecting/experiencing
HURRICANE HILARY and the downgraded storms on SUNDAY AUG 20, 2023?
How is THAT safe? WHERE is the COMMON SENSE in the Post Office?!
In addition to airconditioning in vehicles, the interior temperatures should be tested in between carrier
walking swings in severe heat. FYI Recent news suggests electric vehicles should not sit in the hot sun. RIP Mr. Gates.
This is tragic as well. Peggy Frank reminds me of a coworker. Think about sitting in a sweatbox
and your brain basically frying. How much water does a carrier bring to combat this. (More water, more bathroon
trips many carriers consider). This happened years ago and since she returned from being off, it is possible she didn't
get the Heat Exhaustion Stand-Up. As a matter of fact, those stand-ups are very common in recent years most likely due
to Peggy. RIP, coworker.
RIP to those involved in 1970. This is a 1.5hr movie. if you need a break, start up the second
half at 53:00 mark. Thank you to Wally Pullito, the narrator, former letter carrier for letting my post it here. . Thank
You, brothers and sisters. Sidenote: I would never strike, I'd just have the Customer's speak up on employees
behalf. As a matter of fact, I believe Zip Codes should vote on their carriers, carriers vote on Postmaster, and ALL
US Citizens (or USPS Customers?) VOTE on Postmaster General. NO MORE MANIPULATING OUR MAIL WITH THESE PLUG IN PEOPLE
WHO TEND TO BE BONUSES AND OVERPAID!
