MEMPHIS POSTAL EMPLOYEES WHO ARE BEING PAID TO DO NOTHING ARE UPSET OVER HOW THEY ARE BEING MISTREATED BY MANAGEMENT

On last week I received an anonymous letter from a U.S.Postal employee who works at the main branch on Third. The employee speaks of how employees are being paid to do nothing and required to sit in what is called a stand by room.

The letter states that the room is small with about 15-20 people normally sitting with a supervisor paid to watch adults. The letter states that while the supervisor is paid to babysit them they are paid to do nothing. It also states that employees are not allowed to read any material other then out dated postal material.

The anonymous employee also states that they are not allowed to eat,sleep, do puzzles,or listen to the radio unless you have ear plugs, Also to leave the room the employees are required to get a "permission sheet" like students in a classroom. The letter states that there are employees with back problems and others with on the job injuries who are made to sit in folding chairs for up to 8 hours. The employee also believes that their union has sold out. The letter also speaks of employees contacting OSHA about the small room with flies and mosquitoes and state that OSHA states there is nothing they can do since there is nothing happening that is life threatening. The employees state that they have contacted Steve Cohen's office but have been told that there is nothing he can do since this issue is happening all over the country.

The employees state that while they have not received a cost of living increase in pay ,stamps and other postal services have went up. There is also the concern that some employees have been uprooted to other parts of the country with the Post office supposing to give them $5,000 which they state the employees have had a problem getting.

The anonymous writer along with other employees that I have spoken with employees at the main branch on Third state that the reason management has the stand by room is because there is no work for the employees but the main is being delayed.

Employees at the Main branch state that the mail is being purposely delayed by management whose changing the dates on the postal pieces. The employees state that when the mail comes in if they can't get it out that day the day is changed so that when the big people come from headquarters they will think that it's that days work when in reality it's work from the day or days before.

After receiving the letter and mentioning it on my radio show I started receiving calls all stating that the work environment downtown is close to slaves being locked in the bottom of slave ships, In fact an employee at the Mitchell Road Post office stated that employees with nothing to do are forced to state in a room in the basement of the building.

After receiving the letter I did some research on the national issue of postal employees being paid for not working and found that the U.S. Postal Service is struggling with a massive deficit caused by plummeting mail volume,And that it spends a million dollars each week to pay thousands of employees to sit in rooms and do nothing.

It's a practice called "stand by time" and has existed for for years. Post officials have went on the record stating that the Post office averages about 45,00 hours of stand by every week. It's the equivalent of having 1,125 full time employees sitting idle,At a cost of more than $50 million per year.

I will be discussing this issue today at 4 on "The Thaddeus Matthews Show" where postal employees have promised to call in.

MOTHER AND AUNT SHOULD FEEL THE SAME PAIN AS CHILDREN THAT THEY LEFT HOME ALONE

Shelby County District Attorney Bill Gibbons how has something to do other then going after a city official and that is to bring charges against 23 year old Melanie Dunn and her aunt Marilyn Wilson for the death of 3 year old Ladereon Dunn and for the near death of the two year old child of Dunn.

Dunn and her aunt left the the two toddlers at home while they went to Southland Mall to shop,Her other child is only alive because he was in school. But along with the senseless death of this child and another clinging to life the most heartless statement that I have ever heard a person state was when Marilyn Wilson stated that she saw nothing wrong with the children being left alone and that she needed to get in the house to see if her purse with her food stamp card was okay.

Gibbons should be seeking to file charges of criminal negligent homicide against the two worthless female specimens. Dunn should also lose custody of her other child. Melanie and Dunn and her aunt Marilyn Wilson should be locked away for life or stuck in a burning building with all the doors locked.

IT'S NOT OVER YET CARPENTER WILL RUN AGAIN IN 2011

Attorney Charles Carpenter only received 5% of the vote in Thursday's mayoral race garnering a little over 5100 votes. The virtually unknown candidate fared better then others who had greater name presence basically because of his message and the push he received from my radio show.

Carpenter knew going in that he faced such obstacles as his association with Willie Herenton and some of the legal issues haunting him. He also knew that those who supported Wharton would use this association against him. But never the less Carpenter is preparing to gear up for another race by forming his own base and maintaining a presence in the community.

Even with my push the Wharton name rang the loudest due to the fact that he had the local media as his marketing firm and plenty of money to shake the bell. Wharton has been running and raising campaign funds for the last two years, Or every since a deal was cut in a midtown eatery between Wharton and Herenton.

Now we get to see if Wharton is his own man or whether he will follow the script given him by his handlers. I predict that he has already been told to keep Jack Sammons in place as CAO so that he does not have the chance to violate the wishes of those who control him. Also Wharton will hold on to Larry Godwin as police director because he has no choice.

As for those who say that Carpenter's association with me destroyed his chances at becoming mayor i beg to differ. Carpenter's voice and position got it's greatest exposure on my show, in fact had it not been for the show he most likely would have registered in the 1% colum that some with a bigger name then him registered in, such as Wanda Halbert, Jerry Lawler, Kenneth Whalum.

So we didn't win this time.yesterday in behind us and 2011 is in view I will continue to support Carpenter giving him an outlet to express himself and to present his views on what is needed to make Memphis a better place. The next two years also gives Carpenter the chance to build a war chest to take on Wharton and his handlers...And I think the next two years of Wharton will make a win easy in 2011.

LOWERY WAS ARRESTED FOR SHOPLIFTING AND PLACED ON DIVERSION ACCORDING TO COURT DOCUMENTS

It seems that when Myron Lowery sued Federal Express several years ago the giant overnight air carrier started to dig into the wanna be mayor's past and what they found caused Lowery to file a motion to keep his past out of litigation.

The motion which was given to me by an unknown source speaks of Lowery's domestic abuse of an ex-wife in 1981 which local media has already reported.

But the surprise comes in the fact that mayor Myron Lowery was arrested in 1983 for shoplifting in Indianapolis Indiana and placed in a diversion program where his record was wiped clean in one year.

The motion goes on to state that while employed at FedEx while attempting to break up a fight among high school students visiting the FedEx headquarters Lowery struck a student and was placed on suspension.

Is the wanna be mayor prone to violence and thievery and what about his frequent trips to Tunica where it's rumored that he has had some bad check problems?

CHARLES CARPENTER TO HOLD A NO HOLDS BARRED FORUM THIS AFTERNOON ON "THE THADDEUS MATTHEWS SHOW"

While channel 3 has excluded Charles Carpenter from its debate on Wednesday because their polling of 400 people places him in 6th place the candidate for mayor will hold court for 3 hours today on 'The Thaddeus Matthews Show".

Carpenter will continue to present his platform and take questions from callers. Carpenter does not plan to challenge channel 3 or the CA for their polling of only 400 unknown persons who may or may not be real but will use the 3 hours on my show to answer any question thrown at him,and use the time he would have been on the debate to do something that the others will be unable to do,and that is to be out among the voters garnering their support in the last hours prior to Thursday's election.

Maybe one of the other candidates will now ask Wharton about why he fired Bobby Lanier for political corruption but has been paying him a salary out of campaign contributions. Maybe someone will ask Wharton if it's true that he has had a intimate relationship with his assistant Kelly Rayne who he bought over from the Public defender's office and who in 2006 gave a $14,000 raise in one year. Maybe someone will ask him since on the last debate he stated that he was in shock when I called Myron Lowery a "Good Nigger' on my radio interview with the county mayor "Why are you seen on the video of the show laughing?"

These are the questions that Charles carpenter had for A.C. so maybe that's why he's not being allowed on the debate,But it's no holds barred at 4PM on AM 990 KWAM

EVEN THOUGH HE PLEAD GUILTY TO AGGRAVATED STATUTORY RAPE WHARTON'S SON DOES NOT HAVE TO REGISTER AS A SEX OFFENDER

<

On Monday March 12,2007 A.C. Wharton III entered a trailer located at 2544 Byington Soloway Road Lot #38 in Knox County where the then 34 year old man had sex with a 13 year old child. The child told school official at Karns Middle School also located in Knox County that she had been sexually molested and that she had been communicating with Wharton by way of the Internet.

On July 27,2007 Wharton waived his right to a trial and plead guilty to the charge of AGGRAVATED STATUTORY RAPE. in the state of Tennessee here is how that charge is defined:Aggravated Rape of a Child
Aggravated rape of a child is a Class A felony in the state of Tennessee. It is a violent sexual offense under the Tennessee Sexual Offender and Violent Sexual Offender Registration, Verification, and Tracking Act of 2004. What this means is that if convicted, the defendant is facing not only a lengthy incarceration, but also the requirement to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
The difference between rape of a child and aggravated rape of a child has to do with the victim's and defendant's age. Aggravated rape of a child is the unlawful sexual penetration of a victim by the defendant or the defendant by a victim, if the victim is 3 years of age or less.

Whats surprising about Wharton's case is the fact that not only did he not receive any jail time and given 2 years of probation,But did not have to register as a sexual offender and his record has been wiped clean due to his receiving a judicial diversion.

A.C.Wharton III is free to rape again and there is nothing that can be done about it. When Wharton had sex with this 13 year old White child from Knoxville was it the first time that he raped a child or was it the first time he got caught? It was reported that his father A.C.Wharton J.R. went to Knoxville as a father would but what deal was cut that a citizen that is not well connected could not receive?

Does the man that wants to be mayor of Memphis condone the raping of a child? Does Wharton think that a grown man that rapes a child should go free? Why has the main streamed media not reported that the son of the wanna be mayor did not have to register as a sexual offender as other men in the City of Memphis have when they committed the same crime?

Why is A.C. Wharton being protected by the media and whose pulling the strings? Oh I know some will say that this is a private matter,But wasn't the matter between Willie Herenton and Claudine Marsh a private matter?

It is my belief that the CA and other local medias will not have the balls to report this story but will jump to report any future stories on Herenton and his private matter with his child. The CA and the main streamed media would jump to report a story on any other male who rapes a child and does not have to register as a sex offender and just given a slap on the wrist,But it's to close to election day and Wharton serving his masters biddings is more important then a rapist running loose isn't it?

IS A.C. A PAPPY AND RUBY IS NOT THE MAMA?

It has been stated by many in county government that A.C. Wharton is not as squeaky clean as projected by his handlers and that he has more in common with Willie Herenton then he wants to admit and that he also has fathered a child at an old age.

On Wednesday morning when employees of KWAM radio arrived to work there was a seal package wrapped in plastic so as not to get wet addressed to me. When I arrived at the station much later in the day and opened the package I found a stack of court documents containing all the information on 34 year old A.C. Wharton III who plead guilty of raping a 13 year old White female in Knox County and placed on diversion without doing jail time or having to register as a sex offender.

As I continued to thumb through the documents another document leaped out at me. The document stated that County mayor A.C. Wharton fathered a child with a woman by the name of Kelly Rayne. I don't know this information to be factual but I do know that I have her her name in the past regarding the rumor of Wharton having a child by a White woman.

After doing some checking I did find out that Rayne is in fact an county employee who works very close to Wharton. She serves as his "Special Assistant" The woman who was born in Quakertown Pennsylvania on February 19,1969 in 2007 when Wharton was passing out raises to his appointed cronies received the highest increase in salary. In fact she received a $14,808 per year increase.(DAMN SHE MUST BE GOOD AT HER JOB)

So the question becomes is Wharton a good pappy? If this info is true does he have the child insured? If this is true does Wharton visit the child? I know these questions mean nothing to many of you because it's A.C. and not Willie Herenton.

BY THE WAY A VERY GOOD SOURCE STATES THAT WHARTON HAS A DAUGHTER WHO WORKS AT THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT WHO HE IGNORES.

HERENTON PROVES THAT CA AND CLAUDINE MARSH BOTH HAVE THEIR FACTS WRONG

Before contacting Claudine Marsh the mother of Willie Herenton's infant son Michael In an effort to embarrass him and use the former mayor child to gain political mileage during the upcoming mayor's election his foes should have checked their facts.

The CA in an editorial stated that it was a fact that since Herenton had left the city's employment his 5-year old son no longer had health insurance. This fact as the CA calls it was solely based on the word of a mother who on her own accord moved from Memphis to Cobb County Ga. The CA stated that the former mayor did not visit the child but never called the woman on the fact that she made visits hard by moving to another state.

On Wednesday Herenton supplied me with a letter that shows that neither the CA or Claudine Marsh had their facts correct. The letter from Pearl Gibson, Benefits Officer for the City of Memphis states that there has been no break in group health insurance for participants Willie Herenton and dependent Michael Herenton. Not only has there never been a break in coverage for Herenton's son but he recently added the 5 year old as a irrevocable beneficiary on several life insurance policies,and that an education savings account has also been set up. Seems as though this plan to tarnish WW didn't work did it Myron?

WILLIE HERENTON MADE REQUEST IN 2008 FOR INVESTIGATION INTO ANY ETHICS VIOLATIONS

While Myron Lousy and his CAO Jack Sammons have their city IT man busy working on computer hard drives trying to find anything that they can used against Willie Herenton concerning the Greyhound property deal while leaking that information to the CA I thought I might show them a document that they may not know exist or does not want the public to find out about.

On October 14,2008 then mayor Willie Herenton made a request to city attorney and city ethics officer Elbert Jefferson to investigate and review the Greyhound transaction to determined if there had been any ethics violations concerning what the former mayor states was a private business deal that did not involve his public office.

Herenton also states in the request that no public contracting or public funds were involved in the deal. The request goes on to state that "Reasonable efforts were made to exercise an abundance of caution and discretion in an effort to avoid any conflict of interest or public influence". CA lets see if you will write about this

BY THE WAY IT SOURCES STATE THAT SOFTWARE HAS BEEN INSTALLED AT SAMMONS FULL TIME JOB AS THE HAIR PRODUCTS COMPANY SO THAT HE CAN MONITOR COMPUTERS AT CITY HALL

CARPENTER WILL SPEAK ON FOUR SEASONS DEAL THIS EVENING ON "THE THADDEUS MATTHEWS SHOW"

The CA has become the marketing source for A.C. Wharton for mayor which is the reason that the daily paper has chosen not to report about Wharton monthly payments to Bobby Lanier who was discharged for political corruption several years ago and has since paid him a monthly salary of $2400, But for what?

This paper has also continued to associate Charles Carpenter with Willie Herenton without mentioning that in both 1995 and 1999 Wharton was the campaign manager for the Herenton campaign. The paper fails to mention the meeting at LaChardonnay that Herenton had with Wharton that was brokered by Reginald French. The paper has wrote about the affair of the unmarried Herenton but has yet to investigate the rumor which many in county government state is true about an alleged affair Wharton had with a county employee which ended with a child being born and Wharton moving her out of the city.

Now the CA because of the momentum of the Carpenter campaign wants to throw him under the bus by misstating that Carpenter represented Herenton in a deal to bring the Four Seasons to downtown Memphis. This is totally untrue,which I'm sure the CA knows. Carpenter represented Brown Ventures the group that was making the attempt to bring the hotel to Memphis.

This afternoon on my radio show I will discuss with Carpenter the facts surrounding this issue that can be discussed without violating his attorney-client restrictions on AM 990 KWAM

GIBBONS ATTEMPT TO OUST JEFFERSON IS A POLITICAL POWER PLAY FOR HIS BID FOR GOVERNOR

Shelby County District Attorney Bill Gibbons who has refused to file charges against John Elkington who is reported to did away with at least $10 million dollars is trying to prove to White voters that he should be their choice for Governor by using a unused statue to go after City attorney Elbert Jefferson.

Gibbons who plans to attempt to oust Jefferson on a civil matter is stacking the deck by placing the matter in criminal court in the court room of one of his former employees Judge James Lammey. Lammey graduated from law school at the University of Memphis in 1989 and thereafter served as an Assistant District Attorney for over16 years. As an Assistant District Attorney, Judge Lammey served in the Major Violators Unit, the Violent Crimes Prosecution Unit and as a Division Leader responsible for supervising personnel and cases in Criminal Court. His primary responsibility was the prosecution of homicides.

What Lammey does not know is that there are those who are prepared to file motions against him with the Board of professional responsibility and any other state board that regulates the actions of judges on the bench who purposefully used their office to cause injustice.

Lammey as a former employee of Gibbons knows that he has a conflict in hearing a civil case in his criminal court brought to him by his former boss. This same group is also prepared to show that Gibbons on many occasions has refused to bring charges against personal friends such as the son of his friend attorney Richard Fields whose son molested his own 2 year old daughter according to the child. The child's mother and doctors. The group is prepared to show a copy of an investigated report from Gibbons office that states that the child was molested but because the father and mother were going through a divorce Gibbons office decided not to file charges.

Gibbons knows that he will not receive support for his bid for governor from the Black community so in a desperate haste is prepared to attempt to oust Jefferson when he has not ever used the statue to go after any other elected official. If Lammey is smart he will separate himself from Gibbons and this issue because it will surely come back to haunt him.
