November 25, 2019 — Letter carriers from a local United States Postal Office branch are furious after it was discovered managers were falsifying time cards to make it look like the employees worked fewer hours.
According to the carriers union president, David Grosskopf Jr, the National Association of Letter Carriers investigated after the complaint was brought forward, and found time cards of multiple carriers had been altered out of the Central Park station.
Grosskopf Jr. told 7 Eyewitness News that over the past year and a half, 125 hours were removed from letter carrier time cards. That amounts to $6,249.
It’s unclear whether the managers who falsified the time cards will face disciplinary action.
A spokeswoman for U.S.P.S. would not comment on the matter.
And I thought it only happened in our office…
Is this in additional to all the ones fired or currently being investigated in the Northeast district for doing the same thing?
Happens in every office every day!!
It has happened to me continuously all year long this year. The NRLCA is doing nothing about it but the NALC are. Get off your ass NRLCA.
“It’s unclear whether the managers who falsified the time cards will face disciplinary action.” I LOVE this line. Short of committing some kind of heinous felony, management CTA’s at the PO even better than the military.
They should be fired and charged with a crime.
It’s a violation of the law to falsify employees time cards
This stuff usually happens in offices where so many of the employees are not active in the unions or for that matter even join a Postal union. Workplaces are just like politics…., we get what we allow to happen or are willing do care enough or are TOO lazy to do anything about it. As a retired union rep. this stuff goes on because no employees have the energy or the interest to stop it.
My supervisor just did this to me. Who do I contact to file a complaint?? I’m a clerk.
That’s theft and they should be prosecuted accordingly!!
