Does anyone see a red flag?

1. District Mgr deliberately misstates postal policy under oath to try and protect his harassing employee
2. HR Mgr meets with his buddy, the harrasser, and told him “not to worry about it”
3. Harasser lies repeatedly under oath about past harassing behavior and then tries to keep highly credible person who could verify other statements he lied about from testifying.
= The judge having no choice but suggest to the post office that they had no grounds for a “summary judgement” and adds highly credible person to witness list over post office objections
= a last minute settlement offer substantially above the “average” reported above

I wonder how far off these figures really are. I work in a 21 office.. If you look online at our staffing it shows 11 clerks 3 temps. In reality we only have 7 clerks and 1 temp..

Many cases later found, the accuser used the cheap, effective, and fast method to smear a good name manager by accusing of sexual harassment. Why don’t we fire all of these employees.

^^^It is really hard to believe that you are anyone’s “Management.” Your IQ must use a step-ladder to climb over the alphabet. What a ridiculous statement…

Hey “Management”..what good name? You mean like Jaffer the ethically challenged blowhard?
If it didn’t happen, postal attorneys would have insisted they get paid to avoid going to trial; if managers didn’t lie under oath, they would not have had to settle…

USPS Mgts are liars. OPM / Congressmen are blind what USPS Mgts are doing nothing and make good money. APWU/NALC?MHU are sucker and work harder for MGTS. Employees did not get much raise salary. Mgts do raise their salary plus bonus average more than 3%.They never use Sick Leave and build up for retirement. They play GOLF or spend time with date.

Google “Stoll v. Runyon” and “9th Circuit” and then tell me who the liars are, if you dare!
