Postal Service
Recommends VERA for Postmasters
"the
Postal Service had sent to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
their own letter recommending a VERA (early out) for Postmasters.
Mr. Jones was careful to point out that even if OPM approves the
request, the Postal Service may not choose to exercise the option
of an early out for Postmasters. If approved, and if the Postal
Service decides to offer the VERA to Postmasters, the VERA will
occur over the next two years. The request sent to OPM would cover
all Postmasters, levels 11 through 24." |

Chief Suspect In US Anthrax Attacks Found Dead
-The chief suspect in the 2001 anthrax postal attacks in
the US has died from an apparent suicide just as the Justice Department
was to file criminal charges. The focus was moved to Bruce
Ivins after the head of the anthrax investigation was moved. His
replacement ordered agents to re-examine leads or potential suspects,
and this led the FBI back to USAMRIID, where agents had first questioned
scientists including Mr. Ivins in December 2001, a few weeks after
the fatal mailings.

House
Passes FERS Sick Leave Legislation
(NAPUS)
The Waxman FERS provision differs from H.R. 5573, FERS sick leave
introduced earlier this year by Rep. Moran. H.R. 5573 would have
provided a lump-sum payment of 15% of the amount of accumulated
sick leave exceeding 500 hours, not to top $10,000. Instead of providing
a lump-sum payout, the Waxman provision would credit unused sick
leave towards the FERS annuity. Specifically, FERS employees who
retiree within three years after enactment would be credited for
75% of unused sick leave, and employees retiring after the three
years would get full credit, similar to CSRS employees. The credit,
however, would not be able to be used to determine retirement eligibility.

(California)
A 26-year former Postal Worker who claimed he was fired because
he complained about discrimination against Filipinos has settled
his lawsuit for $175,000 and lifetime retirement benefits. After
a career of good workplace evaluations, he said he was passed over
for promotion twice in 2000 in favor of white employees. When he
and a Filipina co-worker took disability leave, Dumaguit said, supervisors
posted their photos at the Richmond office - a display he compared
to "Wanted" posters - to make sure guards kept them from entering.
