i took an estimate in business to lithium, bothering miss thompson. with mr. galloway, when you mouse told me i was dealing with you me. i was at niels. feel like you could i of the owner. but the outside vehicle it will still be adjusted these odd to do. i also need a back breaking toil for us to labor stress. mm. industrial injury corporal punishment.

oh no words with which we are all familiar with the world you live in abolish slavery long ago. the simple story is that the decline of the us postal service coincides with the rise of the internet and e mail. and that story is just too simplistic. first, class mail volumes have declined and that has created financial pressure. but if you look at mail volume as a whole, particularly if you look at the parcel segment, they have grown substantially. looking at internet use, people with more use of the internet or more access to the internet tend to get

more male oh, the role and influence of private corporations is tremendous. and their ability to shape the legal environment than really reflects their desire to limit competition . if the postal service lives out of the way that you think it fedex, and you could charge more for what they do if the postal service was out of the way that you think the vampires and congress could sell off all the property and all the assets the postal service has and steal that money are all across the united states. we're losing very distinguished buildings and public art that they contain major buildings that the post service own, iconic, beautiful buildings in the centers of town have been sold to real estate developers for not that much money. oh

oh, they were designed to be among the best buildings in town, architecturally distinguished, but also the craftsmanship. oh, a commission for the 1st time, for small towns where people had generally never seen art before, let alone public art the depicted themselves and the work that they do and their legends and their history and their landscapes. i was to a noble americans who do common work so that they would know that this is part of what constitutes a civilization of all of us working together. doing our bit, ah, the real estate portfolio which the public owns and paid for it early as it to be

worth $50.00 to $100000000000.00. so anybody who can get their hands on that is going to make up very nicely, like a bandit, perhaps in the postal service, gave an explicit contract to the world largest commercial real estate company, c, b, r e. to not only sell our property, but also to advise them on what to sell and also to leave mac property, which the postal service does on to it. so this is a very nice cushy deal. mm. where it really does interesting is that the chair of the board and largely the owner of c, b r e is none other than richard c, bluff a billionaire private equity capitalist who just happens to be the husband of senator dianne feinstein. perhaps the most powerful senator in congress, or by any measure. this is a rather startling conflict of interest. the nobody seems to have looked into when

the press is scarcely mentioned. mm. oh, in my own city of santa monica, i was involved in reforms that transformed that city. so that the downtown of santa monica became if not the most one of the most vibrant retail centers in all of california. and there's a beautiful post office in that set of blocks and the post service sold it to some guy who's making it to a movie studio. whereas they could have shared that space expanded the opportunity so that they would have ongoing revenue and maintain this beautiful location in the middle of town where everybody could go to it. they've moved the post office to some place on the other side of the freeway where the bus depot is it's,

it's really a crime. that's an area where they postal service has not followed my suggestions at all. and i'm quite frustration about ah ah, in washington dc, you can go to the old post office and pay the president of the united states $24.00 for a cheeseburger i married burkhart. pacific branch, president of the national association of postal supervisors. every 4 years delegates gather to elect the officers who will represent them in washington. you need to be a service, you need to be even

a little aggressive. and he has to be unafraid. that was always my expectation. the 3 officers that we elected and were paying almost a $150.00 pounds. so you think those are the best. they're fighting their 247. and so it was always a little disappointing to see that they leave right at 5 and did carry cell phones and didn't even know a lot of the basic rules. we have not elected the right people. when i 1st ran, one of the national office has told me, why are you doing this? because it was already the election happened 4 years ago. he said, all votes were promised to other people and you don't have anything to run but your skills. if our whole convention is that correct? why even have it to dial it it and promise it in a secretary cherish her. john. 1200.

a brighter what about a while ago and that's why one day i want one member, one vote because that's the ultimate way to break this up every time i mention it. so like we can't have one member ones out, we can't do that. and i said, why not legal? well, because they don't know what they're doing and i go but isn't that what the elisa said, you know, in england? and is that why we form this nation? and isn't that what people said of the 1800s. and is that why women could vote is that white black people can vote. and so what we're doing is we're disenfranchising everybody for a few good old boy power brokers. nothing happens. and this is to tired

organization with a lot of travel expenses. oh, most with in november 2013, the postal service begins opening many post offices in staples, stores nationwide. a sign on the door closed. filled with is not a contract at all. like no what they get now the contract has been so with that if you could hardly read, ah, we took an old we were hired to protect their meal customers. i'm going to say

protect our mail after 3 years of pressure, the postal service was found in violation of its contract with employees and staples close to their postal counters about big business and money. it's not about the public and given them the service that need desired. it's not about quality train workers, it's about the money with one of the things the postal system did was to create the expectation that a job can have reasonable hours, can have a good pension. what used to be called a middle class american dream lifestyle. right? if you destroy those jobs, what you're doing is you're ratcheting down the standard of living. you're allowing all the other employers in an area to offer less and less so that the only comparison everybody has is the poor job. the 1st largest business, but employ the most people is wal mart and the wages there are so low. but many of

the wal mart employees have to go on welfare. that is, they are subsidized by the taxpayer. and what you end up having is the postal service, retail clerk subsidizing wal mart, in order to pay those workers so much lower wages. so it really changes the direction of who is subsidizing owned traditional 9 to 5 doesn't work in our current economy. as people are working multiple part time jobs, you may work a 4 hour day at the post office and dr. uber for 4 hours. they've tried to bring in an hourly wage people for part time, part time, hours at $15.00 an hour with no benefits, no health insurance, even though they have a ton of employment opportunities. it's hard for them to find people to comment on

the spot. and then the people we do get sometimes they're, they just don't get it. they take the job is easy and it's not, it's very physically enduring. you. now in this past winter it was the polar vortex . it was absolutely horrendous. we were working for so over time we are working 6 day weeks. we're working 12 and 13 hour days. feel like this and all 5 really con anymore. i was working with them for a plan. just wanted off. you know, well with they'll stay here until your oh yeah. they're not by choice. but like i said, we need family needs me. so i can tell myself my family needs with my wife 3 kids. oh, this is america's job. this is for the people. this is existed since the beginning

of this country. there's no reason to stop with kelly as well. the most widely appreciated worker in the country. a postal workers know our people on the route. they take pride in being able to make sure that they're okay. we said quite a few lives all through the years. well i, i did a few more to see breathing opened it. i didn't do anything more than by elsewhere . yes, it is a hero. i believe that just make sure i've been likely to the right time in emergencies and national security situations are gonna deliver medicine. you're gonna deliver some anti dough. are you gonna deliver some equipment? the post office is the last hope of this country because it doesn't say well, you know, that's not very profitable. i'm not going to do it. it has a civic obligation, as well as

a legal obligation to perform on behalf of the american people. ah, the world is driven by dreamers shaped by 10 percent of those with sinks. we dare to ask and a ah ah

ah, you have powers in this country that are trying to choke off the postal service and take everything it has that's worth any money. and then you have a group of people that are trying to fulfill the mission and to deliver to every address every day. the one philosophy flies in the face of the other. the way to do

it is not to eliminate the delivery the way to do it is not to. busy eliminate door to good services, something that we've provided to people all these years. if you want to take it like foreign to people, if you want to put a box up at the corner and have your mother have a walkable to, to get her mail every day. busy i don't think i want that. i would love to see us go the direction of the self directed more team self managed team because we're capable of making the decision. also, we could put reinforce, already, jo, forum desire commitment. that's what we want. you only get it when you make people part of the process. we can definitely run it in my face in for example, i come from when we ran out. they said invoice 3 and i'm facing, you know, what your thumb and every day we can do it on most of most of the oversight and the paperwork that people deal with now is just, you know, did mail get their own time dead, you know, did that box get there,

did amazon get all scan properly? mm. but there's a lot of people in here that are justifying their job, which is a useless job. we have one guy that comes down just to make sure the mail gets here in time. we could check that out. ridiculous, let the post office be a pioneer again in the days of the pony expressed in the way that it was, but now not about reaching into the far reaches of our country, but rather into the way we organized business. every post office should be a local workers, co, operative, a group of workers whose job it is to make that institution as useful as helpful to the local community, as it knows how to be free to do that in any way it sees fit at one time they are able to offer copying services in post office lobbies and kinko's got that shut down. they lobbied congress and also, and there's

a law that you can have copy machines and your local post on the postal service has its hands tied by congress. for example, up until 968, you had postal savings system as part of the post office. and the banks didn't like it. even though people used it. it was convenient, it was reliable. banks pressured congress. they closed it down in all people who said, well, let the post office go into banking. well, you know, that's not why we created the postal service. we got plenty of private banks that'll do banking. i think it might defuse our mission. it might open us up to a lot of criticism. ah, yeah, the postal service didn't crash the economy and steel people's pension. the postal services there provide service for the unless the banking community has completely abandoned a certain area and there are some areas that are under backed. there are only

30000000 on bank people in this country. and they could be the source of wonderful service and communities all over the country because of most offices there is have to be built and they will produce revenue for the post. i think there's a lot of other adaptations that we could be leading the way and such as a high speed internet kiosk access to a secure online bill payment center. there's communities all across the country that don't even have high speed internet period. and there's also many people that can't afford to have these services in their home. the postal service doesn't have to pay tax on their building. so if we're going to do that, we've got to find a way to level the playing field. so they don't put the mom and pop internet cafe, a couple of blocks down out of business. this would be the government competing

with the private sector. you betcha, and that's a good thing. let the private sector have a competitor to exclude the government means the private sector can do to us the customers what it wishes. there's no one else who benefits from that, not to public, not the country as a whole, but for the private alternative profit makers. that's why this with american paper, i want to be able to bring back pride and be in a postal worker. i'm proud to be opposed to work. i'm proud to be able to serve the american people that mean something that me something to me. i definitely want to see a lot of graph food to activism. people getting out there and protecting, and that is days postal service. the letter is so parson,

all the emails and texting and all that is all in person and you know how much time and effort to take to sit down in pen something. so it means a lot more. my mom was clean out some files and gave me that picture. so i love it . i've been born to do this kind of stuff doing his way back. been my mom may. so i was ready. i guess you plan for me to be somebody and i got the envelope printed inside is a letter for me. i want to continue to do big things, but a membership c o person. and that's what i am a t spokesperson. that's what the union representatives off when that law makers. so hopefully people don't look at us like some politicians, a different kind of election so sent out way more than a 1000 of them have one more year to go with the union. and as i said, i think i'll be able to smile asleep

a little better and not have nightmares about, you know, who lost the job today or who's getting written up for silly stuff or things like that. if you take it personally, which i do is say with you in a very negative type away, really it with you get this allergic when you come here without a doubt, i say 30 years here for my life, i sent an email to me. i want to drink, i'm here an hour in my fondest memories are coming here as a kid and you let me sit at the counter and, you know, sell a book, a stamps, and count some change out for the customer right. i wanted, i wanted to show you that you want to treat people like you want to be treated, you treat people like you want to be treated. and i honestly, i firmly believe that even though these people were doing business with the postal

service, they were doing business with me. and after time they were not customers, they were family and friends. i was fired because i was accused of falsifying a federal document misappropriation. funds from the postal service which total $579.56 over 10 year period, $0.13 a day. the postal service was able to keep me out of work for $364.00 days without benefit of pay for specialization. very trying time in my life, i know it took a big toll on him and i was about to go to college. and so he had a mortgage and you know, i know he had all these stresses on him and, and it just didn't seem right. mm. and i was so happy that i how that was

exonerated the day before, we were supposed to go to court because management knew they did not have a case against me. any reasonable subsistence expense that you incur as a result of official travel will be approved somehow some way for my family. my family was at the forefront, my wife, my son, and the place we lived was at the forefront and they gave me all of my strength. i felt like a boxer who was on the campus 12. and somehow, god gave me the strength to swing by arms. had i hit him and i want and i should be a man or even if at the end of the day management has to put that worker back to work with

full back pay. they will have achieved something in terms of imposing discipline and control on the workforce. i can't make a statement cuz then they're gonna cheat me like they treat you on hold. i didn't lose my job or he points thing, right? you should get admission. you keep eye contact me when i am talking to you, but workplace change never came from the postmaster general. whether megan brennan, or ben franklin, justice, safety, or specter. they only ever came in small victories by employees who know their rights and fight for them. might lose this thing, i might lose everything. there's big price to pay. fighting the system, but you have to, you have to make a decision that you're going to do it. and it was my, my reputation, my,

my livelihood, i now i have my job back after 3 very long years of struggle. i've spent almost $20000.00 on a lawyer that something i might not even get even really was his. anyone i got to be honest. i'm a boy. he had to keep being honest, man, to, to fall because it turned out to be a better witness for me. they did for them. tracy won her lawsuit. management never how, how they expect you to give up. they want you to give them the way things have been run, has stopped people from standing up because they, they would feel that they would be standing alone. and i hope to spread the message that you're, you're not alone that so so go ahead and stand up. and let's,

let's, let's, let's take this on friday with, ah, ah, with

ah, ah said, then i have to say this, then the criteria are in germany for many years. his main compatibility was public opinion. those politicians pass as competent in line with what people expect from them, but public opinion is produced or shaped by mass media. those are shipped by journalists, most german journalists are sympathizers of the social democratic and of the green . therefore, as long as of course, you read my social democratic policy projects, you parents as a competent leader, you were told that was bad for your eyes and your post. that it would stop you from

having real friends and finding a girlfriend. but what they fail to mention is that you can make thousands of dollars over the weekend by simply playing video getting a refund. the 1st number. sure. it's a $50.00 profit facilities originally with too much for to do up his normal phone. of course, to make video games a high paying job, you have to be gifted and quick witted on to a spike surgical installation. people are still listening and miss santa webpage. yes, but even established yet glove voice. when you mouse told me, my video is accumulating mules, good guy out in the order, but i would that be cool? it was just, it's easy to do. i also use a

a nightmare scenario. military confrontation has returned to europe, this dark warning from russia's top diploma, the head of a meeting with his u. s. counterpart. this week, sir. again, love ra father, that moscow would not tolerate that be thing off of nato's presence in neighboring states. also ahead asylum seekers may have to wait a month. so the e u beller rooster border to get processed. if a new plan from brussels gets the go ahead, humanitarian organization oxfam told us to move, throws away the rule book. and we could have managed this easily, but apparently the commission is not very interested in doing that. and as the all .
