The Joint Statement was the eventual result of management’s foray into promoting managers who lacked the skills to talk to people in a professional and respectful manner, back in the mid 1980s. Many of these under-qualified yet upwardly mobile employees were incapable of managing, so they abused their power by constantly intimidating, coercing and threatening craft employees, to make the numbers. After two horribly regrettable shootings in two distant offices, the national parties of the USPS and all the postal unions signed the Joint Statement in a combined effort to stop the abuse. At that time, it seemed as though the service had finally realized that pushing its folks from the top levels to make the numbers by using any means possible, was the primary cause of all the problems on the workroom floor. Add someone who manages by intimidation and a craft employee with personal issues, and you have a recipe for disaster.

  • Bologna Handbook 16-17
    Bologna PROGRAM HANDBOOK Brown in Italy 2016-17 Welcome to what surely will be the most exciting time so far in your life as a student. It will be a year or semester of both enjoyment and frustration, but the great times in this adventure, we can assure you, will be far more numerous than the minor frustrations you are likely to encounter. This handbook should provide useful information that will help you to prepare for the experience and to relieve anxiety about what to expect. Plan to use it in conjunction with orientation materials provided during the pre-departure orientation and on-site in Bologna. This handbook is intended both for you, the student participant, and for your parents, because we feel that both those who go away and those who stay at home should share information about the international study experience. We urge both parents and students to take the time to read the handbook from cover to cover well before departure in order to be fully informed of its contents. If you do this, then at least you will know what questions you still don’t have answers for, and you will know whom to contact to find out. It is the nature of a guide like this to advise in strong language about “do’s and don’ts”. Please pay serious attention to these remarks, which are intended for your benefit. If you have any questions or concerns about anything now or while you’re away, please contact the OIP or the Brown in Bologna office at the numbers/e-mail below.
