Going Postal the Untold Story

Hostile Workplace

It’s about downsizing the workforce. It’s about forced early retirement. It’s about automation of the workplace. It’s about placing employees on a program to earn 40% of their current pay on Disability Retirement Income a net government cost savings of 60% less benefits. You become a target for wrongful removal!

The goal of Executive Order 12871 & National Partnership Counsel signed by President Bill Clinton is to reduce government cost i.e. we the workers.

To achieve the biggest bang for management bonuses, management tends to target higher paid senior postal workers!

Most employees don’t see the economic oppression in the form of foreclosures, bankruptcy, auto reposes, food stamps, public assistance, and homelessness coming until it’s done and they’re forced off the government payrolls.

Congratulations and welcome to my world you’re now an official victim of a hostile workplace and government misconduct!

Master Plan

I discovered that lighting does strike twice if you work at the post office.
My story is just one of hundreds across the country.
Pat Sheldon a former Postal employee with 27 years of service at BMC in Jersey City recently contacted me to share her heart wrenching story of how she too was placed on Emergency-Off-Duty-Status without pay for alleged misconduct.

There were three facts that interest me about Pat’s employment story first was the fact Pat had the same fast talking, pay upfront, no results, New Jersey Attorney “Mitchell Kastner”.

Second, was the fact we both had the same Union Arbitrator Joseph Cannavo make a final decision on our cases.

The third fact was when Pat informed me that she had smoking gun evidence that “Joseph Cannavo” has been suspended by several state Bar Associations.

Pat went on to state she felt the current system had failed and was completely corrupt.

The master plan is to target employees for reduction in force.

Institutional Injustice

Union collusion between management is just one of the weapons employed by management against employees on the job.

Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is another weapon used to create a paper trail to reduction in force. The agency “Misinformation Process” paper trail starting from A-Z is another weapon in the arsenal of injustice.

Wake up!

The moral of this story is subterfuge is no longer an option, because there is no protection to defend yourself against injustice when the government goes postal on a love one, family member or you!

No Campaign for Justice (The Righteous Kill Defense)

ATTENTION: ANOINTED ANGELS OF DEATH

I do not question! Why me? LORD! I am but a humble SERVANT.

It is better to suffer for doing good than for doing wrong and for this you shall receive FAVOUR along with ETERNAL GLORY!

The Chosen Ones, those of you (The ANOITED) who have been chosen by GOD to suffer at the hands of Satan followers (the powers that be in any and everywhere in the WORLD), whether you serve the people in Parliament / Congress, Federal, State or Local agencies. Kill or be Killed! True Believers Eternal Glory is Yours!

J.C. has instructed me to inform you that like him Satan followers (the powers to be in any form of government Parliamentary / Congressional, Federal, State or County) that they are trying to Kill you; they have declared WAR on you. Yes, WAR on YOU. Satan in the form the President of the US and Members of Congress has instructed its employees / those that follow Satan to destroy you by not abiding or enforcing Moral Law / LAWS of the US Constitution instead create Terrorism / CHAOS (i.e. Economic Oppression - mental, physical, medical and financial persecution / torture) to Kill YOU. Kill or be Killed! True Believers Eternal Glory is Yours!

J.C. instructed me to deliver the message," wake up all sleepers and do this by explaining to them what SATAN has done to bring them closer to HELL".

SATAN in the form of US President William Jefferson Clinton on October 1, 1991 passed Executive Order 12871. An Order that made the National Goal to reduce government and government spending. The government as you know it translates into "we the people". Thus this has made the National Goal to reduce the people (downsize human life) and do so without spending the peoples money (avoid expenses, liabilities etc.). How did Satan accomplish this? Satan in the form of Vice-President Al Gore created what is called the National Partnership Council to Kill YOU. Yes, Kill YOU. Satan's Racket, the National Partnership Council is a Labor-Management Partnership. An unconstitutional CONFLICT of INTERESTS. Created under the guise to champion change in all Government agencies to transform those agencies into organizations capable of delivering the highest quality services to the American people. What this has done is took a way any and every protection afforded to any human being under Moral Law / LAWS of the US Constitution in order to reach the National Goal (downsize human life and avoid expenses / liabilities etc). Members of the National Partnership Council / Satan's Racket continues to accomplish the National Goal of trying to Kill ALL GODS CHILDREN by placing ECONOMICS over JUSTICE. Using different forms of TERRORISM (ie. ESPIONAGE, SUBVERSION, ABUSE of POWER, and OBSTRUCTION of JUSTICE, etc.). Meeting the National Goal (killing all GOD'S CHILDREN) by not enforcing the rules and regulations and laws in any and every VENUE one seeks justice / fairness (i.e. pleadings, hearings, arbitrations, mediations or court proceedings). NO DUE PROCESS of Law. Kill or be Killed! True Believers Eternal Glory is Yours!

Satan in the form of US President William Clinton in attempts to give his followers a false sense of security. A sense of security from the LORDS / GODS Chosen Ones. Satan (President Clinton) passed a New Death Penalty Bill. J.C. informed me that the new Death Penalty Bill was SATAN's smoking gun. It was like a Last Chance Agreement with No Back Pay. It stated one would receive the death penalty for killing a child belonging to a Judge or Arbitrator. Everyone knows if you are making decisions based on GODS Moral Laws / Laws of the US Constitution you are protected. Satan's protects no one! Kill or be Killed! True Believers Eternal Glory is Yours!

J.C. has instructed me to tell you that we must construct a list of those suspected Satan followers (i.e. Deputy Clerk Sherry Towle, and Federal Judge Terry Means, United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, Case No. 99-10108, Obstruction of Justice (RICO Act), Murder. The list must be categorized by title, name, location, case number, and action or lack of action responsible for murder or attempted murder. The more information listed by GOD's Children the sooner we can begin to prey for Satan's followers and their offspring. All GOD's CHILDREN will be responsible for posting suspected Satan followers. A Chosen One will be ANOITED to create a Suspected Satan follower page. Warning some of Satan followers may attempt to fake their deaths. If there is any doubt trust the HOLY SPIRIT an offspring then should be held accountable for crimes of the Satan follower.

I GOD will judge those of you who could not resist SATAN as soon as those, I GOD have Chosen to suffer at your hands destroy you and those SATANIC people, places or things you adore. Favour is limited act fast. Eternal Glory is Yours! I AM! Follow me!!!

National Whistleblower

NJ Lawyer Throws Another Postal Employee Under The Bus To Removal!

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 592,000 Americans lost their jobs last month. Many share a similar plight - middle-class families who've lost financial footing because of government misconduct and collusion.

Federal, State and Local Union workers of America meet Pat Sheldon mother of three and a former New Jersey Postal employee who had 26 years of service at Bulk Mail Center in Jersey City. Pat a single postal-mom just barely making ends meet worked long hard hours and dreamed of sending her kids to college only to have her dreams cut short when she suddenly she lost her postal service job.

Pat recently contacted me to share her heart wrenching story of how she too was placed on Emergency-Off-Duty-Status without pay for alleged misconduct.

What interest me was the fact Pat had the same fast talking, pay upfront, no results, New Jersey Lawyer Mitchell Kastner.

Now get this, Pat had the same Postal Arbitrator Joseph Cannavo make a decision in her case. The telephone melted in my hands when she stated that she had evidence Joseph Cannavo was on a state attorney suspension list for misconduct.
Pat said after she exhausted all legal channels she contacted New Jersey U.S. Robert Menendez's office and requested a congressional investigation into government collusion between the Union and Postal management employing an Arbitrator "Joseph Cannavo" with misconduct violations to arbitrate her case.

At this point, put yourself in Pat's position what would you do? Perhaps hire an attorney, enter "Mitchell Kastner", results another victim thrown under the bus without due process!

The moral of this story is economic oppression over injustice causes workplace terrorism!

"A Legal Fairy Tale"

What Happens When Your Lawyer Throws You Under The Bus?

By Jim Coe

Part-Two:

Today, I am going to spill the beans as I take you behind close doors at the Merit System Protection Board Hearing hereto called MSPB.

Keep in mind that as a military veteran I have the option of going before a MSPB Administrative Judge with a legal paid legal representation otherwise called your lawyer.

After an exhaustive Bar Association legal search for an experienced Federal Employment lawyer, I finally settled on Mitchell Kastner, Somerset County, New Jersey because of the fact Mitchell Kastner claimed to be a former MSPB Administrative Law Judge. I paid Mr. Kastner very well to represent me at the MSPB Hearing vs an Agency Attorney of the day with no Hearing experience.

The MSPB Hearing was directed by Judge Sandra J. Squire started shapely at 9:30 AM with the Agency making an Opening Statement as to why the Appellant was removed by the Agency.

After about 10 straight opening objections, Appellant’s Lawyer (Mitchell Kastner) because the Agency Supervisor Tony Brullo failed to answer any of his pre-written statements under oath, Judge Squire stopped the Hearing at 9:45am.

Judge Squire suggested I could shorten the financial stress if I prevailed on the merits by working out a Settlement Agreement with the Agency which she could enforce in 30 days vs. 2 years with Appeals.

At that point my lawyer stopped advising me and even breaks attorney/client privilege and threw me under the bus after telling me a few legal fairy tales to get me to sign the Settlement Agreement under the stress of the day.

In the words of my Union representative Tom Hynes upon discovering for the first time the gust of the Last Chance Agreement said at my Edison NJ Union Arbitration Hearing in 2007 the LCA was a legal written lynching by the Postal Service given the fact the Union never signed off on it.

Simply stated I did not need to pay a lawyer top $$$ to advise me to sign my Legal Death Sentence. I needed a lawyer to make me sign and the sad news is I over-paid him to throw me under the bus.

The moral of this story is before you sign any Settlement Agreement ask for time to call your wife, or mother or your best friend and read the Agreement to them, do you think I should sign this?

My goal here is to save future employees from throwing their hard earned savings out the window.

We must continue to post a lawyer beware blog list of bad Federal Employment lawyers like Mitchell Kastner, Somerset County, New Jersey Bar Association who I can not recommend you hire to represent you.

“Discover the Formula for Going Postal”

The Postal Service Must Be Held Accountable for Government Misconduct!

By Jim Coe Postal Watchdog

Jim Coe a Veteran who worked 17 years at the PDC in Edison, New Jersey before being wrongfully removed is going to spill the beans in a series of articles about government misconduct.

In part-one: I expose the Postal Service’s Point Guard and Legal Gatekeeper David Friedman Esq. Simply stated Counselor David Friedman has shown an unchallenged pattern of unethical legal behavior and abuse of power.

The Formula for Going Postal is defined as: Economic Stress over Legal Injustice Equals Going Postal.

The New York Metro Area Legal Team Counselor, David Friedman and I have a long professional history dating back to 1994 when I filed my first of 12 EEOC Complaints after being kicked in the groin by a white co-worker on the work floor. The bias attack resulted in me being taken to a local hospital for treatment. It did appear that under the Postal Service Zero Tolerance Policy race may have been a factor because the attacker a white employee was NOT removed for just cause under the Zero Tolerance Policy.

The white co-worker continued to make disparaging remarks and racial threats until I was forced to file an EEOC complaint out of fear when management failed to address the bias pattern.

It is a fact that Veterans Nationwide are often the target of retaliation if they fight for their rights in the workplace.

In several EEOC cases David Friedman Esq. has crossed the ethical line as an employee Friedman has abused his legal power by making misleading statements and using his position to intimidate me or mislead me into legal dead-ends over the years.

To date Counselor Friedman’s legal conduct has been unethical, highly personal and often out-of-bounds legally. Friedman’s legal staff has consistently covered-up Agency misconduct rather then follows the rule of law. Friedman has deliberately omitted material facts in several cases while introducing hearsay evidence in others. Friedman has personally abused his power by illegally changing the terms and conditions of my employment.

In short, Friedman is allowed to play GOD on the job.

In summary, like most agency officials in positions of power Friedman is NOT held accountable for the harm that results from government misconduct.

“UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE ENGAGES IN NATIONWIDE RETALIATION AND HARASSMENT AGAINST VETERANS”

Edison, New Jersey November 19, 2007

Veterans nationwide are under attack at the USPS. The Postal Service has declared war on Veterans. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what veterans see as a growing cancer throughout the Postal Service as the Post Office seeks to cut cost and save money through massive automation reform. The Postal Service is committed to reducing craft employees overhead. Veterans are being targeted for harassment and retaliation. Veterans like James Coe a Disabled Vietnam Era Vet with 17 years of Postal service in New Jersey was targeted for removal for alleged misconduct. Based on the facts in this case the New Jersey Department of Labor Workforce conducted an Appeal investigation into Mr. Coe’s alleged misconduct and found no evidence of employee misconduct. The Labor Department issued a fine for making false statements and stated the Postal Service should consider reinstating Mr. Coe.

Mr. Coe an outspoken veteran has discovered he is not alone a group of about 100 veterans in Charlotte, NC also claiming retaliation and harassment are fighting back and calling for congressional action against the Postal Service. In the Postal Service under the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) veterans are considered preference eligible employees.

In October 2007 the Postal Service side stepped Veteran’s Federal Employment Laws when the Central New Jersey District discriminated against Mr. Coe by denying Mr. Coe fair and equal access to due process. During a Union Arbitration Hearing in Edison, New Jersey, on October 10, 2007, (Case No: A00M-1A-D05134186), Arbitrator Joseph Cannavo claimed the evidence before him justified Mr. Coe’s removal from the Postal Service and Mr. Cannavo ruled to deny the grievance, because, Mr. Coe failed to testify against himself at the hearing.

On November 13, 2007 Mr. Coe appealed the Arbitrator’s decision to Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in Washington DC under EEOC section 1613.231.

" Job Insubordination Or Retaliation You Be The Judge "

This tragic story is about a Military Service Veteran that has lost his 20 year service Pension resulting from his Wrongful Termination by the United States Postal Service.

James Coe a Postal Service employee was Wrongfully Terminated from his position by the United States Postal Service on August 16, 2005 after 15 years of service at the Postal Service for violating the terms and conditions of a Last Chance Agreement signed during a (MSPB) Merit Systems Protection Board Hearing on December 8, 2004.

Mr. Coe is Black, African American, Preference Eligible, Honorability Discharged, Disabled Vietnam Era Veteran. Mr. Coe is a highly educated black professional who worked his way through a 4-year B.S. college degree majoring in Electrical Engineering at Temple University in Philadelphia P.A. In addition, Mr. Coe earned several Technology Certifications from MIT Boston.

Shortly after enlisting in the military Mr. Coe successfully completed his 6 months special military postal service training job elective code (71F-20). Mr. Coe served his three year tour of duty as a Military Staff Division Postal Officer in the 4th AD Division and was given a Military Classified Clearance. Mr. Coe was honorably discharged from the military with a rank of Sgt. First Class (E-5) his Military to Federal Civil Service job code conversion title and level listed in the Federal Job Code Digest converts to United Service Postal Service Postmaster (EAS-21).

I would hope every American would agree federal employment rights in America should be equal, however, Mr. Coe’s workplace history shows otherwise when it comes to Black employees at the Postal Service’s Processing and Distribution Center in Edison NJ. Mr. Coe alleges retaliation and disparage of treatment with regard to Last Chance Agreements between black and white employees.

Can we agree that under the United States Bill of Rights every American citizen is legally entitled to full due process regards of Race, Color, Religion, Sex, Disabilities in Mr. Coe case his constitutional and employement appeal rights per section 159(a) of the National Labor Relations Act under fair presentation and the Collective Bargain Agreement’s "Just Cause Rule" were clearly violated. In addition, preference eligible veterans are entitled to Merit Systems Protection Board due process by virtue of 5 U.S.C. §7701.

Can we agree Mr. Coe a veteran who has served his country has earned his right to due process.

Can we agree any fair and balanced investigation into the Wrongful Termination of Mr. Coe must take into account the complex terms and conditions of Mr. Coe's (CBA) Collective Bargaining Agreement. There is an old staying you couldn’t play the game, if you don’t know the rules.

I am going to take you on a guided tour of the terms and conditions for employees working at the Postal Service using an analogy of Major League Baseball. Baseball in divided into two Leagues the National League and the American League. Like most Federal Agencies the Postal Service has two separate workforces referred to as Bargaining Employees (Unions) and Non-Bargaining Employees (Management). Like Major League Baseball is divided into two different Leagues with teams in each league. The Postal Service divides it’s Bargaining Employees into different Unions within the Agency.

The terms, conditions and employee benefits are not equal for each union therefore one must look closely at the (CBA) Collective Bargaining Agreement in order to affirm that all the rules have been followed per the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Mr. Coe is a member of Local 300 AFL-CIO of the National Postal Mail Handlers Union and his employment terms and conditions are thus governed by the rules of the NPMHU (CBA) Collective Bargaining Agreement.

At this point, Mr. Coe a Preference Eligible Veteran has exhausted all his administrative appeal rights within the scope of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Step: 1 Disciplinary Action

On March 31, 2005 Mr. Coe was wrongfully placed on Emergency Off Duty Status for Insubordination by supervisors Tony Brullo and John Zpyhulsky.

NPMHU CBA: Article: 16.7 P-86

Emergency Procedure Rule

An employee may be immediately placed in an emergency off duty status without pay by the employer, but remain on the rolls where the allegations involves intoxication (use of drugs or alcohol), pilferage, failure to observe safety rules and regulations, or in cases where retaining the employee on the duty may result in damage to U.S. Postal Property, loss of mail or funds, or where the employee may be injurious to self or others. The employee shall remain on the rolls until disposition of the case has been had. If it is proposed to suspend such an employee for more than 30 days or discharge the employee, the emergency action taken under this section may be made the subject of a separate grievance.

Footnote: (1) Mr. Coe was never properly charged with any violation cited in the Collective Bargaining Agreement under article 16.7 and the Union fails under the duty of fair representation grievance (#TH-05-11) in whole or in part on May 5, 2005. (1a.) What if, any documented duty of fair representation has the union taken since May 5, 2005?

Step: 2 Disciplinary Action

NPMHU CBA: Article: 16.5 P- 85

Suspensions of more than 14 Days or Discharge Rule

A. In the case of suspensions of more than 14 days, or of discharge, any employees shall, unless otherwise provided herein, be entitled to a written notice of the charges against him/her and shall remain either on the job or on the clock at the option of the Employer for a period of thirty (30) days. Thereafter, the Employee shall remain on the rolls until disposition of the case has been had either by settlement with the` Union or through exhaustion of the grievance-arbitration procedure.

B. A preference eligible veteran who chooses to appeal a suspension of more than 14 days or his discharge to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) rather than through the grievance-arbitration procedure shall remain on the rolls until deposition of the case has been had either by settlement or through exhaustion of his MSPB appeal. When there is reasonable cause to believe an employee is guilty of a crime for which a sentence of imprisonment can be imposed, the employer is not required to give the employee the full 30 days advance written notice in a discharge action, but shall give such lesser number of days in advance written notice under the circumstances is reasonable and can be justified. The employee is immediately removed from a pay status at the end of the notice period.

Footnote: (2) Mr. Coe is a preference eligible veteran with Merit System Protection Board appeal rights.

NPMHU CBA: Article: 16.6 P- 85

Indefinite Suspension - Crime Situation Rule

The Employer may suspend an employee in those cases where the Employer has reasonable cause to believe the Employee is guilty of a crime for which a sentence of imprisonment can be imposed.

Footnote: (3) According to Article 16.6 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement Mr. Coe was wrongfully placed on Indefinite Suspension by the Postal Service not as a result of any known criminal activity charges.

(4) According to Article 16.5 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement the Postal Service failed to issue Mr. Coe a written 30 days advanced statement before his Indefinite Suspension stating all the charges against him.

Step: 3 Disciplinary Action

On August 16, 2005 Mr. Coe was Wrongfully Terminated from the Postal Service by Kilmer Processing & Distribution Plant Manager Victor Pacheco who issued the Final Decision letter on June 15, 2005.

NPMHU CBA: Article: 16.8 P-86

Review of Discipline Rule

In no case may a supervisor impose a suspension or discharge upon an employee unless the proposed disciplinary action by the supervisor has first been reviewed and concurred in by the installation head or designee.

The morale of this story is your employer can neither make you waive your Constitutional Rights under federal law nor Retaliate against you for exercising your Protected Rights under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
