LEGAL NOTICE
TO ALL PRESENT AND FORMER ANNUAL RATE REGULAR POSTAL EMPLOYEES AND THE REPRESENTATIVES OF
DECEASED ANNUAL RATE REGULAR POSTAL EMPLOYEES REGARDING POSSIBLE ENTITLEMENT TO BACK WAGES
This notice is published in conformity with a Consent Order entered August 26, 1971 by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in
settlement of Civil Actions Nos. 3593-69 and 3595-69. Its purpose is to bring this settlement to the attention of all persons who were full-time annual rate
regular employees of the United States Postal Service (as used herein the term "Postal Service” includes the former Post Office Department) at any time be
tween approximately March 4 1966 and January 7, 1972, as well as representatives of such employees who are now deceased. The settlement involves the
recovery of back wages for overtime under Public Law 89-301, for temporary re-scheduling under the conditions set forth under paragraph I-A below. This
notice is intended to advise such persons of their rights regarding this matter. It should be read carefully.
The lawsuits described above were filed on December 19, 1969 as “class actions” on behalf of all such present and former annual rate regular postal
employees The named plaintiffs in these suits are certain individual postal employees and the following postal labor unions: American Postal Workers
Union. AFL-CIO; Mail Handlers Division of the Laborers’ International Union, AFL-CIO; and the National Association of Letter Carriers, AFL-CIO.
I. SUMMARY OF THE CONSENT ORDER
ENTERED IN THE “CLASS ACTIONS”
The Consent Order establishes rules regarding
the payment of back wages to those present and
former postal employees (or the representatives
of deceased postal employees) who were entitled
to, but did not receive, time and one-half for
work performed outside of their regular schedule
as a result of a required temporary schedule
change as set forth below. A complete statement
of these rules is not set forth in this notice. The
following rules represent only the basic condi
tions which apply to claims. Detailed Operating
Instructions and the Consent Order will be avail
able to potential claimants, as indicated in para
graph E below.
A. Qualification for Back Wages under “Class
Action” Consent Order
1. For the period from approximately March 4,
1966 to January 7, 1972, annual rate regulars
were entitled to overtime wages under Public Law
89-301 for work performed during days or hours
outside of their regular schedule as a result of a
required temporary schedule change, unless the
schedule change occurred while they were occu
pying any of the following positions: (1) post
master: (2) rural carrier; (3) postal inspector;
(4) road duty employee (as defined in 39 U.S.C.
Sec. 3581 (1962)): (5) substitute employee; (6)
hourly rate regular employee: (7) annual rate
regulars who. between March 4. 1965 and July
29. 1966, were in salary level PFS-8 and above:
(8) annual rate regulars who, between July 29,
1966 and October 6. 1967. were in salary level
PFS-11 and above: (9) annual rate regulars who.
after October 6. 1967, were in salary level PFS
-12 and above or equivalent levels.
2. Any temporary schedule change on the part of
an annual rate regular which was not made at his
request for his convenience is a “required sched
ule change" for which the employee is entitled to
overtime compensation for work performed out
side of his regular schedule, without regard to the
nature of the work performed under the tempo
rary schedule. Temporary schedule changes made
at an employee’s request for his convenience are
not compensable at the overtime rate.
B. Claims Procedure under “Class Action” Con
sent Order
1. The Consent Order establishes procedures for
the filing of claims by present employees, former
employees and the representatives of deceased
employees who assert entitlement to overtime
back wages under paragraph A above.
2. Claims Procedure for Present Employees
(a) As soon as practical after July 30. 1973,
all present employees will be notified by their in
stallation head that their time records are avail
able for examination. In most cases these records
date back to the first pay period in which regular
work schedules were assigned under Public Law
89-301. and end with the pay period terminating
on January 7, 1972.
(b) Each present employee is entitled to be
excused from his normal tour of duty for up to
one hour to review his time records and will be
compensated for that hour at his straight time
rate of compensation. Tn addition, he may re
move his records from the installation for the
purpose of such review.
(c) Special claim forms will be available in
all postal installations. It will be necessary for the
employee to indicate on the claim form those
hours for which he believes he is entitled to re
cover overtime back wages.
(d) An employee's failure to file a claim
with his installation head within 90 days of re
ceipt of notice that his time records are available
for inspection will waive his right to present a
claim. However, upon good cause shown, the
time for filing a claim shall be extended.
(e) An employee may submit a claim even
though his time records are no longer available.
(f) After an employee has submitted his
claim, the local installation head will review it to
determine whether the claim should be approved
for payment. If the claim is denied, the employee
will be entitled to appeal.
3. Procedure for Former Employees and the Rep
resentatives of Deceased Employees
Essentially, the same rules apply to claims by
former employees and representatives of deceased
employees, with the following exceptions:
(a) The Postal Service will attempt to notify
former annual rate'regulars of their rights in this
matter by forwarding a copy of this notice to their
last known address on file with the United
States Civil Service Commission or the appropri
ate Postal Service Data Center.

Williams suspended
and then reinstated
BOSTON (UPI) - Earl
Weaver has used his first show
of force in his five years as
Baltimore Orioles manager to
bring a player in line.
Before Sunday’s game, Weav
er told catcher Earl Williams
he was suspended for “an
indefinite period” for doing “a
lot of irritating little things.”
Weaver, whose club won
three straight American League
pennants before stumbling last
season and so far this year,
cited Williams for coming late
onto the field, missing signs,
hollering back at heckling fans
and “four or five other things.”
On Sunday, Weaver said he
wanted to talk to Williams
before the game “to give him
some advice and a little hell.”
But Williams missed the team
bus to the park and arrived
late.
The two men talked when
Williams arrived but “in my
opinion, Earl (Williams) did not
want to hear what I had to say.
I told him to sit and listen but
he started to give me a little
lip,” Weaver said. “I told him
if he did not want to sit and
listen, he could pack his bags
and get out of here.”
Williams, who said he
“walked around the park a lot”
during the game, met with
Weaver after the loss and said
the problem was resolved.
“We see eye to eye on
everything now,” said Wil
liams, who came from Atlanta
in a six-player trade that sent
pitcher Pat Dobson, second
baseman Dave Johnson and
catcher Johnny Oates to the
Braves. “I agree with some of
the things he said and he
agreed with some things I said.
It ended very pleasantly,” said
Williams.
Weaver said Williams, the
club leader with eight homers
and 28 runs batted in despite a
.207 average, would be back in
the lineup tonight in Mil
waukee.
“The only reason this situa
tion came about,” said Weaver,
was that I wanted to talk to
Williams about a few things
and he missed the bus. So the
situation became magnified. He
season for the Cleveland
Indians, was hitting only .245,
and was only that high on the
strength of a current six-game
batting streak.
And, after going O-for-3 in the
Yankees 3-2 opening victory

Your Order Will Be Ready
you’d think Nettles wouldn’t be
in much of an optimistic mood.
Optimist or prophet, Nettles
was joking with Felipe Alou,
the on-deck hitter, before
stepping to the plate in the
ninth.
“Felipe said, ‘l’m gonna hit
one out,’ and I said, ‘No you
won’t get a chance, I’m
gonna,”’ Nettles later reported.
Sure enough, Nettles hit the
second pitch 350 feet into the
right field stands to give the
Yanks a 2-1 victory before
62,107 Ball Day fans, a sweep of
the doubleheader and an eight
game winning streak—their
longest since 1969. The New
York triumph also extended
Detroit’s losing skein to seven—
its longest since September
1970.
The sweep left the Yankees
on top by two games in the
American League East.
“Felipe was the first one I
ran into when I came back to
the bench,” said Nettles, “and I
said, ‘Now do you believe me?’
and he answered, ‘l’d believe
anything you tell me.’”
Bobby Murcer was the
batting star of the first game,
scoring the first Yankee run
and knocking in the second, and
Thurman Munson scored the
first New York run in the
second game, but the real stars
of the sweep were the relief
pitchers.
Fred Beene hurled four
innings of one-hit ball after
replacing starter Steve Kline
and then Sparky Lyle came on
in the ninth inning of the first
game to retire the side on four
pitches after Beene had walked
the first batter, gaining his 19th
save. In the second game,
Lindy McDaniel pitched 1 2-3
innings of perfect ball to gain
his sixth victory.
“I can go on day after day
without getting tired,” said
McDaniel, “as long as I’ve got
my rhythm. Lately my forkball
has been very easy to throw
and I haven’t had to throw too
many pitches.” And Beene
added, “I like my role as a
middle man. I think where I
can pitch a few innings and set
hitters up—it’s better than
short relief where you’ve got to
overpower the hitters.”
Country Club
to host meet
Between 300 and 400 people
are expected to compete in an
invitational swim meet at the
Griffin Country Club July 3-4.
