It has come to our attention that management is requiring carriers to make a verbal pledge over zoom that they will wear their seat belts while performing their duties as a Letter Carrier. We have heard that management is instructing carriers to make this pledge whether they are guilty or not guilty of not wearing a seat belt. Though wearing a seat belt is a state law, making a pledge should not be a condition of employment. If management asks you to make a verbal pledge, respectfully decline. If threatened with discipline, ask for a steward and file a grievance. The only time you should sign documents or make a pledge is when you first hired at the Postal Service, after that the only document you should sign is a PS Form 3971 requesting leave, and discipline upon receipt of said discipline. If you receive discipline you should sign, date, and write the time you received the discipline, after you sign the discipline, request a copy from your supervisor. Immediately after you sign the discipline you should ask to see a steward and let your steward know you received discipline.
