(Ghiorsi Photo)New Slope Postal Chief Promises To DeliverContinued from Page 1Training System (STS) for the Brooklyn Division of the U.S. Post Service.Faszio has replaced Robert Ortiz at a station that over the last few years has gained a reputation for sloppy service, late deliveries and mis-deliveries. At a public meeting several months ago, residents of Park Slope complained that letter carriers threw their mail in puddles, that magazine subscriptions arrived weeks late and that deliveries were often not made until late afternoon or early evening.In addressing these problems, Faszio points to the new reorganization of the Postal Service that occurred in May when the management of the Brooklyn Division was restructured and the borough received a new top officer.%u201cSince the reorganization a lot of changes have come about that already are affecting service,%u201d Faszio says. These changes include, extending window hours at the station, implementing a new procedure for earlier mail delivery, adding additional routes for Van Brunt carriers and phasing out %u201ccasual%u201d workers at the station, to be replaced with permanent, trained workers.Faszio, like his predecessor, points to the increasing population of Park Slope as one of the causes for the problems in service. %u201cThe area that the Van Brunt Station serves is in the process of urban renewal and based on the increase in population we have to look at work load adjustments and bring in more regular people to work at the station,%u201d he explains. The station currently has five vacancies in letter carrier positions that Faszio expects to fill soon.%u201cWhat we%u2019re doing now is covering the positions with temporary employees,%u201d he says, but stresses that the vacancies are often being filled with part-time career employees rather than %u201ccasual%u201d workers. Complaints from the community in the past have focused on the %u201ccasual%u201d employees who many felt were not trained for the job.In this vein, Dennis Draney, field director for marketing and communications for the Brooklyn Division has announced that 120 new career employees had been hired in August and that an additional 160 would be hired in September. The career employees would replace temporary employees on carrier routes.Stressing that human relations will be one of his priorities in his new position, Van Brunt%u2019s Faszio also points out that new manager/employee cooperation is anticipated to improve communication between the two groups and also let them jointly address problems experienced in the Postal Service.%u201cIt%u2019s the type of system that the Japanese have been doing for years and big companies such as General Motors are beginning to use,%u201d he explains. The system which will be implemented in upcoming months requires that employers and employees go through a training process. %u201cBasically it%u2019s making the employees part of the process of running the business,%u201d he says. %u201cThe more they are involved, the more they will care, and ultimately work performance will increase.%u201dUnder the new system, work teams will be identified in each station made up of carriers and management. The unions will nominate employees to participate and the group willBasically we are making theemployees part of the process ofrunning the business. The morethey are involved, the more theywiii care.meet periodically to establish goals and discuss problems.As another part of his human relations efforts Faszio says he hopes not only to motivate his employees to work harder, but also smarter. %u201cI would like to instill a sense of pride,%u201d he says.In practical terms, Faszio says service has already been improving through extended hours and a reorganization of the letter carrier break-down system. %u201c It used to be that the mail would get processed and racked in the morning,%u201d he explains. %u201cNow we have them making the deliveries in the afternoon for bulk business mail, so carriers can get to work on that earlier and the mail in the morning comes as usual.%u201d Faszio estimates that delivery time for mail has been cut back by one hour. Late mail delivery has been the notorious problem at the station.Along with several other stations, the Van Brunt Station will carry extended hours for a trial period. Thursday%u2019s hours have been extended from 5pm to 7pm. Saturday hours have been extended for another two hours until 2pm. Monday mornings, the station will open half an hour earlier at 7:30am.Similarly, the General Post Office hours at Cadman Plaza were adjusted to opening at 8:30am Monday to Friday and on Saturdays closing at 9pm. Starting on August 18, the Times Plaza Station on Atlantic Avenue opened at 7:30am. The Red Hook station will now open at 8:30am Mondays through Fridays.%u201e A STUDENTS%u2019S S fM l Photo-tipE x j ^ k , from%u2014 7>P%u2014 Gr aphi c Art Mart, Inc.Ask for qualityKODAK Color Processing.FAKIRINTERNATIONAL TRAVELSUPER SAVINGSR o u n d Trip Air F a r e s :L o n d o n ............................................. $ 3 5 0 .0 0F r a n k f u r t....................................... $ 3 9 8 .0 0I s t a n b u l.......................................... $ 5 9 9 .0 0Tel Aviv .............................................. %u2605 $ 6 5 0 .0 0M a d r id .............................................%u2605 $ 6 4 0 .0 0F o r b r ig h t, c l e a r c o lo r , ju s t t h e w a y y o u u s e it G a ir o /A m m a n ............................... $ 5 7 5 .0 0R o m e/M ila n \\ %u201e A th e n s /V ie n n a J ......................... $ 4 9 9 .0 0C A L L (718)596-1720+ %u20228.\ARTIST, PHOTO A SCHOOLEQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES $ $ SS(NG JGraphic Art Mart, Inc.
