Mr. Burrus says he is looking forward to working
with the new board of USPS board of governors to better
serve the American people. What he really means is that
he is looking forward to beging making outrageous demand
on behalf of his worthless union to continue demanding
pay raises they don't deserve. Mr Burrus is a joke and
helping the American people is the last thing on his
mind. He is only concerne with scoring points so that
he can continue to be President of a bogus union that
only motivates the workers to do less for more pay.

Another person that could pass the Postal Exam.
Keep up the good work at your fast food job.

I am so glad Burass actually thinks anyone still thinks he is a player at the table. The NALC has distanced itself from him, Potter and his subordinates keep right on trimming the fat, not giving this left-wing lunatic the time of day. Mr. B's press releases are humorous and hollow- he has no clout, and no place at the table to negotiate the future of the Postal Service. The only ones more out of touch with reality are those who continue to fork over the dues that buy this guy's lunches

Lower wages + Less employees + Lower benifits = A lower cost, better USPS.

After reading the article that the APWU wrote, I did a complete turnaround only because the part about James Miller III, happens to be fact, not fiction. The BOG would be very smart to keep Mr. BURASS as far as possible, like PMG Potter does. Mr Potter is doing the right thing in staying far away from DUMB BURASS, BECAUSE OF THE PERSON THAT HE IS. I will continue later.

The letter carrier exam must be really easy to pass if you idiots managed it. Don't think we didn't see the tape of our president attacking our union. Just wait until NALC leadership crawls out the mailers' behinds and see where you are.

I have read the many attacks that The APWU has made about the Postal Service. I do not believe a word that Bill Burass says. It took him him 6 months to travel to Trenton, N.J., to see how his clerks were managing.
The NALC President showed up the following Tuesday to see how everything was going. That is why I refuse to accept the word of Bill Burass, as an earlier remark did say the facts that I can agree with. Every postal union should work to see that the service survives for the future, not complain about everything that is not necessary, as is done by the APWU. Mr. Burass, when you can prove to me that you are able to lead your union, then I will withhold the comments that I make about you. These comments also come from your members who would love to see the UNITED FEDERATION OF POSTAL CLERKS return to their position before the advent of the NATIONAL POSTAL UNION, WHICH DID HELP MEMBERS, BUT MADE PROBLEMS INSTEAD OF TRYING TO SOLVE THEM.

Mr. Burrus is a product of affirmative action.He got
into his position because the color of his skin and
not the contents of his brains. He is just a yes man for
the Liberal Democrats. He will tell you that he will
cooperate with the postal board of governors and will
then go the other way and demand and obstruct
every move that can result in an improvement of the
Postal Service and thus saving our jobs. He uses the
same tactics the Democrats use to ensure that the board
of governors look bad and to embarrass our President.
As a result our craft (clerks) are disappering as fast
as the blue states. Have you seen how the Mail Handlers
are taking all the jobs in your P.O.? What is Mr. Burrus
doing about that? Pretty soon you will either switch
to the Mail Handlers' craft or you will be heading to
the unemployment office.....And we can only thank Mr.
Burrus for the excellent job he has done in exterminating our craft. Keep donating to COPA and all
will be well. See you at the unemployment line.

I'm happy to see some idiot dumb enough to say what's really on his mind -- it's all about race. At least now we know you're a Republican and a letter carrier. Enjoy the inauguration, and the screwing Bush is gonna give your union.

Dear 8:21
So, I take it that you are very proud of yourself. Is that all it takes to make you feel important? Denying a legal representative of the workers the right to do what they have been appointed to do? I feel sorry for you and your family--that the laughs in your life are so cheap and petty. I've been around long enough in the USPS to know that "what comes around, goes around." Hope it doesn't hit you too hard when it comes.... In addition, I'd like to know, that in your "seat of authority"- don't you have more important things to do? or is that all it takes to get your rocks off?...

IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE UNIONS THE CLERKS AND CARRIERS WOULD BE MAKING LITTLE WAGES AND NO BENIFITS LIKE THE CASUALS ARE DOING. DON'T THINK FOR ONE MINUTE THAT MANAGEMENT WOULD WORK WITH THE CRAFTS. AND YOU MANAGERS WOULD BE MAKING CRAP WAGES TOO. THE TOP OF THE PILE WOULD BE MAKING ALL THE BUCKS, JUST LIKE WALMART. HEY, 609 GET A JOB AT WALLMART AND THEN SEE WHAT I AM SAYING. AND BY THE WAY 609---GFY. BILL BURRUS MAY NOT BE THE BEST APWU PRESIDENT, BUT HE'S NOT A SUCK ASS LIKE SOMBRATTO WAS BEGINING TO END. BURRIS WILL NOT AGREE WITH ALL THE SHIT THE POSTAL REFORM WANTS TO DO. WAIT UNTIL THE NALC ANNOUNCES THE "LAST MILE DEAL" TO ITS MEMBERSHIP. "CARRIERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO DELIVER MAIL THE LAST MILE NO MATTER WHAT THE OTHER CRAFTS DO. WAGES, BENIFITS, WE WILL TALK LATER. WE WANT THE LAST MILE FIRST." BROTHER AND SISTER NALC MEMBERS THEY GAVE AWAY THE WAR AT THE TOP WHILE YOU STILL FIGHT COURAGEOUSLY AT THE BOTTOM. AND TO THAT "PISSANT" WHO WOULDN'T GIVE THE TIME TO THE APWU STEWARD TO DO THE GRIEVANCE, GFY TOO. THE STEWARD SHOULD FILE LABOR CHARGES ON YOU BESIDE MOVING THE GRIEVANCE FORWARD. ALL UNIONS SHOULD BAN TOGETHER TO FORM ONE POSTAL UNION.

Come on people.. Mr. Burras is doing a fine job. He is a Democratic Socialist and his whole agenda is to have each and everyone of us receive a welfare check each month. He whole belief is that we don't have to work for a living and never be responsible or accountable for anything on the job, just grieve it and I will help you all the way to the welfare line.......

When are we, as union members, going to wake up and get this clown out of office.

After reading some of the comments on this board I can understand why there are so many complaints about letter carriers. You are the lowest common denominator in the Postal Service. Not a day goes by without a customer coming in to complain about how stupid their letter carrier is. How he can't seem to figure out that a 7 is not a 9. How he stands on their doorstep and writes out a 3849 without even trying to ring the bell to see if anyone is at home. How they don't ask for ID when delivering restricted delivery mail.

The types of people attracted to the letter carrier craft are generally very hostile and anti-social. The longer they have been in the craft, the more hostile, anti-social, and uncooperative they become. This blog proves it.

Bill Burrus got into the Postal Service the same way YOU did, only he probably got a higher score. There is no "affirmative action" in your score, except for the preference points given to crazy veterans who think they are supposed to shoot anything in sight anytime something doesn't go their way, and it usually involves some white male's sense of entitlement to something that he THINKS he is more qualified for than anyone else or because some woman bruised his ego.

Bill Burrus was ELECTED to his position of president of the APWU. He was elected because he had the drive, ambition, and vision enough to get off of his ass and do, not sit on his ass and talk....or even worse, show their asses through their font on the internet.
