FSS Information

[dustbowel20]

postal supervisors, and most union officers only know one thing: " they dont want to do physical labor " they however take great joy in pushing the craft labor force around, as to the union, what union? I sometimes cant tell the diff between the two. our new vice president elect has been a 204b now for years, get real .

Hello everyone it's me again. FSS still sucks.

Found out today staring next week we have to carry yet another way. Once again we will prove them wrong that this system is not working. The FSS is a tool and u have to use it properly. Its like using a fork to butter ur toast. It does not work.  Listen to ur carriers. I know ur trying to save money but this is not the answer. We are not the problem even thou u think we are. Ben Franklin is turning over in his grave. Management? Are you out there?

[ThePostalKidd]

Just started working on FSS as mailhandler. So far we can't get anything out on time. Forced OT due to lack of help. Good times. And bc of the girl in NJ that was injured on FSS we have to sit and wait for maintenance ever time the machine makes a peep.

[wbmailbox]

Hello..the USPS is losing money. Get out of the Stone Age. La Jolla, Ca is losing 10 routes due to FSS. Bet the carriers picking up new territory won't turn down the additional gratuities.

[6lanepie]

Couldn't agree more

[ernestjo10]

This is and oversized expensive shreading machine. The perfect example of bad decision by overpaid managers

[6lanepie]

Fss stands for Forced Shity System

Management is making good carriers into bums. Come on lottery.

[JoeTheOtherMailman]

I carry in North Brunswick NJ. We were supposed to start FSS-adjusted routing schemes on 3/31, but that has been delayed indefinitely.  Some mailhandler in the North Jersey plant opened a door that said "Do Not Open" and got sucked into the machine! Two broken ribs, a collapsed lung, and a pink slip (delivered bedside by management) later, OSHA is investigating and has ordered the FSS shut down until further notice.

This piece of shit is gonna work about as well as the other pieces of shit they have us working on..

[loumag7]

I feel very sorry for the walking carrier.He or she will have to deal with missorts, missequenced,and missent flats in rain and snow conditions.Nothing compares to setting up your route on your own.If you can't case your FSS mail,this will be a major burden on the carrier.

[peewee2627]

Does anyone have FSS in their office yet? How many routes have been abolished???

[jocosmile253]

@peewee2627 Yes. 8 routes. Same amount of carriers. We all get back at 6ish 7ish. All the routes were adjusted into some new stupid layout. The machine does not do newspapers and you have to sort the mis-sequenced flats that you find while delivering the previous day. All the forwards are in the FSS so now you have to remember more shit. So basically longer routes, more bundles, longer loops, you still sort mail and a waste of the peoples tax money.

[ajmachinist]

@jocosmile253 You really are dumber than you look

[jocosmile253]

@ajmachinist And you are a flaming faggot.

[tenthstream]

Yeah yeah, they said the same thing about DPS(walk sequence) letters. How it was going to kill carrier jobs. Guess what, it never happened.

Why? Because postal management, in their ignorance, fail to realize that time in the office does not equal time on the street. They consider carriers robots and beat them like mules.

It's funny, because these fat, overpaid supervisors and management couldn't carry mail for an hour on the street, let alone carry a whole route.

[kevjosmith1216]

Finally, a good result from the bad economy. They scrapped the FSS because of lack of volune and these machines need a building of their own.

[OnThatPowder]

wow, im gonna lose my job when this shit mkaes its way around.....fuck

[b1oodyromance87]

yeah we're all fucked if they start using these in more areas

[Tacid]

Comming to Canada Post soon. After 15 years as a Postal Clerk I may find myself out of a job before I can retire. Thanks Canada Post!!!

[jerad2jenny]

My feet and knees will be even worse with more street time, no one will make it to retirement!

[1900killa]

F%^& the Usps & their bull$hit machines

[Lanny1966]

where's the AI?

[markedwagoner]

Great, better ways to move more junk mail. Thanks guys.

[medumbcat]

i dunno. sounds like they got ulterior motives. gonna sort the world into meanies and nicys!?!

[GMF14692]

More Stupid Garbage that costs Billions

[sleaze4ever]

everyday i use simple logic to solve problems on the route and in the office. i'm sorry, but NO machine can think.

[supraraycer]

@sleaze4ever IBM Watson?

[stinkybunny7]

I think this is the machine that is getting rid of about 700+ clerks in Dallas? Mail volume is "low",and they want to pay millions of dollars for this stupid machine.USPS is also over 1 billion dollars in debt I wonder why? I am a clerk in Texas,and they are getting ready to lay off 16,000 of us!

[heater56]

Instead of being so negative maybe you should be thanking the Postal Service for a job that pays so well. If you don't want to walk then go get a job behind a counter at the local kwik trip and get paid minimum wage.

[flygirlgotgame]

I understand "tony42mailman" pain, I work at the post office at the processing center which has more physical work... If you'll only see how we work you'll gonna say that income we're getting the benefits is not enough for the hardwork that we're doing

[tony42mailman]

I'm a 204b and a carrier. Letter DPS is never right, and now they are going to try to seq. a bunch of Oprah magazines. Then they will tell us everyday that we have an hour undertime everyday... BOO-crap

[dryMAILman]

FSS = Flats Shuffler Shredder

All for only $847 million dollars

[DarthFurious]

DPS. THREE BUNDLE CARRYING RULES. ROUTE INSPECTIONS. PIVOTS. FORCED OVERTIME. FSS MACHINES. They are trying to kill their own employees with this bullshit. Mail carriers are NOT FUCKING ROBOTS.

[tss223]

on mounted routes they are going to make us carry 7 bundles.....i'll be an hour over my street time everyday

[libraStrong]

Check out "Postal Rap" Stop Postal Service harassment!! Demand Accountability!!!

Judges Paul V. Gadola, Mimi Gendreau, Avern Cohn, Jerome Blum has protected the USPS at the expense of my human rights.

Me a, Women of color has no voice in Michigan Federal Courts.

[sober00]

I have a d-m/nbu's rt.,it's gonna be tough for the carrier's that have p/l rts.,it's like carrying a

3rd bundle daily.

[helenasweetrevenge]

Bunch of things just to deliver a 42 cent letter. I can just go over there on my bicycle. lol

[jettlvr]

Oh great now that I don't have to sort my flats I can WALK for 7 hours everyday!!!Thanks postal service!

[bubbilicious429]

@jettlvr walk as slowwwwwwwwwwww as humanly possible.fuck em!

[pikuta]

instead of clerks loading the mail directly from a container at the front of the machine. it's done by twice as many people in the back.the place is already filled with old machines that never worked as well as advertised

[drakeshadon]

where can I download this video?

[GMF14692]

Wow the 1000 still has 4 keyers at beginning of the video.Best job at the post office

[metalkanin]

America... where acronyms ensure noone knows how to spell anything, or know what the hell you're talking about...

[summerlander]
