Should have asked him how many millions of dollars were paid out to employees to settle grievances.
I believe it $100’s of millions that are 100% avoidable, if management would simply comply with the contract they agreed to and signed with the various unions. Mostly the violations are over mandated non contractual overtime. This is due to management refusing to hire new employees to cover -just the basic- work.
This the one right here. They fired all the PSEs. We got a janitor puttin up the mail now lol this shit is crazy
Should probably be 3 times as much
SMH wow that's crazy @@RedkeyChristian
For sure it's up there my city has 5 offices and we are using PTF's as clerks. Many of the actual clerks have said openly they are pushing 60k for the year already.
This man could care less about any of us. So what if bills are late, mortgages sitting at some postal facility. This man could care less, what part of this are you not seeing or feeling. Enough already. DEJOY MUST GO Now!
Did they cut dejoy's pay? Make him deliver mail in August,in a hot truck,in less time
😂😂😂
Absolutely
Yessssss
The new Mercedes trucks that we all paid for that have ac
They need to because that might give him some insight into what he has done to 60% of the rural carriers!!
15 million hours they cut is what’s delaying the service. We need the time to deliver, management cuts time and delays mail intentionally and curtails mail. These orders are coming from District. You all will keep receiving mail not on time, delayed significantly, because DeJoy and managers under his orders are cutting hours.
Thank you!
Exactly! Thank you on this. Fire DeJoy
We have too many managers. They are on a mission to grind us into the dirt. He even says they didn't hire much for peak season. They are making the hard workers work harder and people are not wanting this job for very long. We have a hiring and retention problem exacerbated by shit management and orders from district to break contract and push us to the limit.
I think he says 50 million? That's 25k jobs
He should been fired. WE WANT HIM GONE!
Thank you
Goneeee 😂😂
@@DjST4RBW0Y outta dere bih we tired
agreed
FIRE DEJOY Immediately!! He is inadequate!! Damn Crony!!
Why don't they ask him about the raises he and all other management just got?!
U know let's get to the real questions😂😂😂
What raise did management get? Genuinely curious Or are you talking about upper management?
You need to ask him how much the USPS pay daily in express mail refunds because under Dejoy's plan, they cannot guarantee their delivery promise anymore.
The mail delays are happening across the country.
Most plants are submitting false data to force these plants to close.
Postmaster General Dejoy needs to be fired immediately and the services need to be returned back to the servicing plants..
The #1, and only problem is the at the Post Office refused to staff its offices. The reason mail is delayed is because they are trying to eliminate employees who are actually needed. If they would just get smart and hire however many people that are needed to process the mail and deliver it, there would be no problem.
Dejoy even admitted it in this hearing. He said “we stopped hiring”. This is why the service has devolved
This is true but no matter how many people they hire they are constantly going to lose the majority of them due to the way management treats their employees. People really don't understand how bad it is. They are trying to find anyway to steal money from their employees who are already underpaid for the amount of work they do. How many overburden routes are not being fairly paid for $10,000 of free work due to the 48k cap. They refuse to hire employees and force employees to work their off days or work multiple routes a day because it is cheaper than hiring someone. This has lead to overworked employees, more injuries, and more people leaving for better opportunities. With this union and leadership I don't see it getting better anytime soon.
Not all employees are rural carriers. Get involved with your union and implement change
And they stopped overtime.
Employees here have been treated as disposable since they were hired, sir.
I’m curious to know how long he can keep giving senate the same tired ass excuses
😂well Trump put him in and he can’t be voted out so y’all got what you voted for. Same thing with abortion
So funny how we've been suffering but now since the senate is feeling it NOW its an issue. We're still waiting on our raises homie! I do bare minimum.
Excatly! I agree with this
Rand Paul has no idea what he’s saying
Interesting perspective 🤷🏻♀️
Ask him why he removed the fast machines from the plant and where they are now?
he would lie.
What in the heck will we accomplish with this hearing. Dejoy is totally dysfunctional, discombobulated and could care less. He's been there four years and accomplished absolutely nothing making over $350,000 a year. This committee can do nothing they never do. Bills are still late, mortgages are over due and paychecks are God knows where.
Newsflash. Mailcarriers are not in electric trucks!! We are in non air-conditioned vehicles in 115 and up degree weather. Some are sick and dying from heat !! So as a mailcarrier Im unsure where the money is going !😢😢
Instead of buying custom mercedes.... They should've invested in FORD, GM OR CHRYSLER.... And X'd that new electric vehicle .... The vehicle and CREATING CHARGING AREAS ..... another waste of money.
@@d.e.little5387 I agree!!!
@@d.e.little5387those Mercedes are garbage. I'd rather drive the crap old llv's.
Stop putting bonuses in management’s pockets when it’s allocated by congress to help usps financial stability! This money was not meant for bonuses to DeJoy and management!
11:58 am 4/19/24… the problem in the post office is too many managers ! Let them go or make them deliver the mail!!
Working managers are the best managers.
We each Must take responsibility for our actions and words used.
Another one of Donnie's "best people." He's useless.
Man Rand Paul is a trip. Dude has no solutions just a ramblings.
Yeah the complaint about moving workers in house is ridiculous. Any business savvy person knows that’s cheaper in the long run. He must of had a contract with the post office or something and is mad he lost it.
@@ChristoffelTensors I like how keeps comparing the USPS to private companies, its like what private company is tasked with delivering to every single address in this massive country we live in. The guy is cracked.
I normally agree with most of what Sen Paul says, but he is way off track here. The PO is not a business! It’s a government service just like any other government service. No one wants to run any other department like it is a publicly traded corporation with shareholders , except the PO
Rand Paul is crack in many places.
Get rid of de joy and fire my manager too please.. thanks
Dejoy is pressuring older employees out and hiring new people who dont give af about the job to save money on worker's compensation and its causing delays.
Pressuring? Pure hate and harrassment is what I experienced. Age related retaliation
He and the entire management department have embezzled all allocated funding. Restructure and implementation are just an alibi
When he talks about taking 10 facilities in a location to emerging it into one, he’s talking about saving money on trips to those facilities for the postal service but asking their employees to foot the bill commuting to the new plant. Where I live that turns my 10 minute commute into 45 mins on average weather days. No wonder they have a staffing problem at these new hubs. Employees are saying no, retiring or outright quitting because we can’t even hire new employees appropriately. We can’t compete with what McDonald’s is offering let alone what you would say a competitor like UPS does. This plan will ruin what was a dependable service
That is a very good observation, hadn't thought about that.
Congress is trying to privatize the postal service
Sad but true!
Yes that's all I heard.
The GOP has been trying to eliminate the postal service since at least Richard Nixon. It’s an idiotic idea.
If they want to privatize the post
Office they need to deliver
Mail too it’s like let us who work in
The usps decide our future but every 👃 political want their dirty hands to take everything from the ppl bc paying taxes isn’t enough for them
Exactly.
Lost all respect for Rand Paul when he basically just defended the idea of craft employees as a permanency
Agreed. He has no idea how hard it would be to hire and maintain any employees or have any quality level, at McDonalds pay level. The PO is not wall-mart or Uber eats.
Took you this long?
@@jeffgreen1469my thoughts exactly.
As a carrier in GA, it is a hot mess! The consequences of his consolidations is BS. The carriers and our customers are suffering!
How is it that more people opt for paperless billing, and yet they still can't manage it properly
The databases driving businesses all across the world 🌎 are corrupt.
Every company and agency must take responsibility for their data.
Non career turn over rate is crazy. We actually pay for back ground check, academy training and regular training. Then the job isnt easy so people know they can go elsewhere and make just as much with less work. Putting them in a career position gives them a little more to actually want to stay working for the company. I worked over 9 years as a non career before I was switched over and that is just ridiculous for the slavery job we do.
Yes fire him I am a Postal Union Official and a truck driver for the Postal Service this guy is not giving out overtime in order to get the mail out to the public some locations is not even running male that day
From a postal worker .. dejoy has slashed the number of hours way down.. he is saving money on labor ..
He cut the number of hours fuddy also cut the number of productivity mail is not moving
And delaying mail in the process. Jumping over a dollar to save a dime. If the mail doesn't move we don't make money.
As an employee I am obligated to share this with all staff.
Thank you senator Hasen . For mentioning the minions that are out there every day in all weather conditions…
Atlanta has become a black hole for mail. Refuse to mail anything with the USPS since a very important piece of certified mail went MIA over a month ago. 🤬
Imagine being a carrier there. You think it’s bad for you 😂
I shipped Priority mail one month ago. Ask me has it arrived. GA to TN ...
Thank dejoy for the changes!
Engagement with the workforce???? That never happens
I am an employee and I'm telling you he thinks the club wants him
They caught you red handed.
USPS is lacking transparency. Dejoy does not read his mail and fails to address problems. Management should actually consider consulting carriers and Pse prior to making changes.
Surely they can see right through Dejoy's bullshit, what about all the money he is making with all his"conflict of interest" projects 🙄 the more he stutters, the more he is lying
Lies all lies
Louis dejoy has to go. Period. Biden not getting rid if him is inexcusable.
Here here!!!
Biden can not fire teh post master general, only the postal board of governors can.
Two wings on the same vulture, left and right
I know someone who stopped first class mail in his business he said that "it takes same time as regular mail so why we pay more then!"
How is he still the postmaster? The 3 stooges who can make that decision.. They should be brought in under oath and testify to this committee... He's not doing his job, and he's terrible at it anyone else would been fired already
For example: I mailed my property tax payment on March 28th to the county seat 6 miles away. The letter went all the away to Palmetto, Ga. 110 miles away then boomeranged back and was received by the tax office on April 4th 7 days later. This is FUBAR!
You are lucky it got there, all our mail is missing since March, even certified! They can't find any of it!
That is a lie about getting the mail a day early. A lot of it is already late when it gets to our processing facility.
I say cut mail delivery to 3 or 4 times a week same pay...or not ...point is Its all bills anyway. The managers treat delivery drivers terrible.
I wonder if senate knows that this man dejoy has many property all over and they all in someone else name and he is getting paid i thought that was a conflicted of interest
I have delivered mail for 12 years now, and I have never seen it as bad as it is now!! For DeJoy to implement systems that are failing and want to continue to move forward with more is scary! This is people's livelihoods! Our job!! He does not care at all!
Late bills, missing medication and reduced service that’s what we are getting from DeJoy
The problem is the knowledgeable management have all retired & the new management has no training or knowledge to make smart decisions. There was a mass hire of supervisors with no time in the postal service & horrible work ethics and now it's backfiring. They don't train new hires, nor is there any accountability. Many should never have become career employees because of poor work ethics & attendance. The postal service has lost so much respect from the public & it's sad. Never thought it would get so bad.
Absolutely agree 💯
He's a joke...
The Public needs to get involved! Please support your mail carriers! Look into the true reasons as to why you do not receive mail or it is delayed. We have a union but it is very hard when several National Union reps wont even stand up for their own members, they are too busy getting in good with Management for personal gain. Contract is expired, and under negotiations for over a year now. We need open bargaining, and we need to get rid of Dejoy, Renfroe and all the cronies!
If the public knew exactly what management does to its employees such as falsifying Heat training, overworking employees old and new, to the point someone passes away, changing clock rings, all for metrics. The list goes on! We need a fighting NALC at the national level like it used to be! We do not need a Union President who harasses women, nor who is a alcoholic (pending charges). Do your research! Speak up for your carriers!
IF THERE'S NO MAILMAN THERE IS NO POST OFFICE, MAILMAN MUST GET BEST PAY BUT SADLY THEY GET SAME AS MCDONALD'S SALARY !!!
Idk any McDonald’s workers that make $72,000 a year
We have carriers making double the manager's salary, not saying it isn't deserved but they make good pay. Not all areas only hire ccas
@@mpmusshafenit takes 12 years to make that much at the post office as a letter carrier
In high cost of living areas the postal workers need a raise especially the cca mha and pse.
@ea9173 sheeeeeeeeit
Welp Paul is coming for the workers' job, not Dejoys!
Rand Paul should work for the post office as a non carrier employee for a week and let’s see if he would stay on knowing he has no union representation meaning management can treat them like dogs and give them amounts of mail and expect them to make it in the time they give them or they are fired. Second, see if he will put up with animals attacking them and people hating him because he’s sending bills. The turnover rate because non carriers don’t want to work in rain and heat is also crazy. De joy is actually doing better by making carriers career employees faster because now they have a career to look forward to, rather than a JOB.
Notice how the poorest performance targets certain states. Curious.
Yes interesting
I pull mail out of the Sandston USPS Distribution Center outside of Richmond, VA, for a private contractor. It's really that bad in terms of on time mail movements.
You can add Memphis and Millington Tennessee to the list with postal problems. Never received my package from back in February I had the package sent to my PO box never received. Never received my W2 form Retrieve the copy so I could get my taxs done.
Solution body cam for postal service deliveries and cameras in Side facilities. Any change of address have individuals physically go inside the Post Office to show identification.
He used 50 million less worker hours? That's the problem!!!
Get him out! Fire him. Po is going down the drain. Mail is delayed all over. Hours are cut. Leaving mail sitting in plants for weeks. Disgrace. They quickly skim over delay of mail
Cut the destroyer's paycheck!
I'd appreciate a simpler way to "opt out" of coupons and advertisement to my home. Possibly reducing such mail would enable the post office to focus on the important deliveries.
Someone fire this Post Office general master😊
I sent a certified, registered, return receipt requested letter to an address (a business) an hour away in the same state (MA). It was returned 6 months later marked undeliverable. The owner of the business confirmed that the address was correct. I also received a check-by-mail over a year after it was mailed! Caused many legal expenses and anxiety because of these delays.
Thank you Forbes for that useless banner covering half the screen. Great job blocking out all the name tags. It's so easy to tell who is speaking, right?
Same thing happened 3 years ago and nothing done... Government must be a rubber stamp as well.
Guy has some points BUT giving us full time jobs with benefits is NOT the problem. Having to work 2-5 years without a guaranteed day off was not acceptable. Out sourcing doesn't work. He should have researched that first instead of sounding stupid
Absolutely. And if they would allow the rural carriers to actually get credit for all the years that they worked for free, you would get rid of all of this heavy elderly Costly carriers and hire new younger and fit. Employees, if we, the elderly were allowed to retire. I am a rule Carrier for the United States Postal Service. And I have been a Carrier for 20 years but only 6 years count towards my retirement and at present. I have to work another 10 years to retire. I am 60. That makes no sense.
That is horrific!
The union should change this, fight for your 14 years!
Louis DeJoy (born June 20, 1957) is an American businessman serving as the 75th U.S. postmaster general. He was appointed in May 2020 by the Board of Governors of the United States Postal Service (USPS). Prior to the appointment, he was the founder and CEO of the logistics and freight company New Breed Logistics and was a major Republican Party donor and fundraiser for Donald Trump.[1] DeJoy is the first postmaster general in two decades without prior experience in the USPS.[2] His companies still hold active service contracts with the USPS, generating controversy over conflict of interest.[3]
His plan is a good plan to get the postal service generating money instead of losing it. The real problem is you have a lot of people in higher level jobs that are not smart enough to scrub a toilet, because of the promotion process they have in place.
The Communities are left in the dark concerning Postal Services. Sometimes, our Mailperson will deliver our mail until 11pm or whenever the incoming mail arrives, this is happening in Compton, California.
Its management..
Fire him and clean house
Top to bottom❤
Louis Dejoy - AKA Delusional Destroy in our small rural post office.
The postmaster general is the second-highest-paid federal employee
In 2021, DeJoy made a base salary of $305,681, which along with performance bonuses, totaled $480,985
Inexcusable, not a single cent of that earned. When is the federal gov going to stand up and protect its own postal service?
Him and his plan need to go
End all mail in voting to in person voting only to help with the mail services!!!!!!!!!!!
It would really be appreciated if Forbes could 'occasionally' put up its ID bar at the bottom of the screen, so that watchers could see WHICH senator is asking the questions!
My packages and mail tends to disappear in Raleigh and Durham NC postal centers. I always ask shippers to not use USPS after so many losses and “return to sender” packages (before they were ever delivered)
All this money post office makes. Why we driving these llvs that have 300,000 + miles on them with no air or heat that doesn’t work half of time
Because the great dejoy hath decreed it to be so!
I uphold my oath and integrity to the service of the United States.
DeJoy is intentionally interfering with the USPS mail delivery. Isn't that a federal offense?
Its sabotage.
Often, in our post office (MA) there is only one person receiving mail. Long lines, almost always busy…
I’m a postal mail handler in Jacksonville fl,and the whole management is totally incompetent about what is going on each day, getting tons of junk sorry marketing mail stacking pallets all over and getting overwhelmed by Florida direct mail, handled by a broken mail feeder system with little or no maintenance each day, such a sad state here
If they want to cut costs. They need to do a nationwide audit on how the mail is being transported to processing plants and how to create more direct routes. There is no need for my package that was mailed from Albuquerque, nm to go to new york from Georgia before it comes to wv.
Correct! Thank your postmaster general for not prioritizing that
They need to hired more pse clerks two people is not happening 20 gaylords need 4 clerks stop worrying about management bonuses and satisfied the customers I’m in Georgia it’s absolutely nuts here
Part of the losses in this year's projection is because they gave themselves a raise instead of paying the carriers who actually deliver the mail.
Can't believe we had to wait an hour for someone to actually care about the workers...
INCOMPETENT
wait who was gonna tell me that i make 50% more hourly than when i was non career wheres that money at .
Change is definitely need from within NALC first. VOTE for change in our National Election. It’s power in voting. This PMG should have been stop and gone way before this transition in our delivery system got to this point. Brothers and Sisters wake up to what’s really going on with our Union. Peace and Love
Can we fire dejoy. I've never had so much trouble getting my mail. I get other people and others getting mine. I should be paid as a mail carrier
I have a novel idea for employees, show up for work. Take a guess at what the daily employee availability is?
Why do you think theyre avoiding working for abusive management? 🤔
How many times did he blink?
Automation (letters and flats) needs their own building.
Private Corp. always cut costs by layoffs and triple up the individual work loads.
Shout out to nevada north nevada
DeJoy has the ability to single handedly destroy America's economy. Yall know he's halfway there, right?
Right!
Yes sure Senator Paul , we all wanna use one of the poorest states in the country as an example of what the rest of us should be doing to be successful .. Kentucky ranks 3rd in the country on federal $ dependency.. A postal worker gets 1% a year for every year we work in this place.. You work 40 years which many of us have too and you get 40% of your base pay high 3 average , it’s not an overly generous pension for what you give up to work there .. crazy hours, weekends don’t matter, if you have a family emergency or are sick you will be harassed and retaliated against etc.. it’s in a downward spiral and it’s not the workers that are doing it, we put up with a lot and don’t get much in return but a steady job and now that’s in jeopardy
This election going to be serious if delays happen to ballots in key swing states.
I think that's a part of a plot.
Its the plan.
If it do t make since its the post office 🤦♀️
How is the monopoly almost gone? i don't understand 😮
DEJOY SHOULD'VE BEEN FIRED A LONG TIME AGO!!!
