Maintenance Division officers are encouraging local unions to file grievances protesting contract violations that occur as management implements the electronic Condition Based Maintenance (e-CBM) program in their facilities. The local grievances will support a national-level dispute over the program, which was filed Feb. 23, 2009.

The APWU has received numerous reports of serious problems with the Leyman lift gates on the new 9- and 11-ton postal trucks that have been deployed throughout most of the country. A total of 240 trucks with Leyman rail-type lift gates have been removed from service, and management has issued instructions that the Leyman tuck-under lift gates on 416 other trucks should not be used.
