I’m sorry, I didn’t know jobs came in colors.
Well, in the private sector, you have to actually be capable of making a contribution ...
USPS: Minorities and retired military. I read somewhere recently that the USPS really needs to shed 250,000 positions. I just hope that the one’s in my local PO are on the list. They go out of their way to treat the patrons with as much disrespect as they can get away with. These jerks watch the clock and don’t stay at their station one second into their breaks!

Its a sad state of affairs.
I was shocked when the deaths from the anthrax after 9/11 included a black college classmate of mine. I was saddened that after getting the college degree from a prestigious university he had gone to work in the post office. Afraid of competing? Comfortable family historical job?
Did the article mention that the USPS is losing 9 billion per year?
Hey USPS, here’s an idea. Issue an Obama portrait postage stamp limited edition, historic claptrap appeal and all that BS and charge extra for it. The sheeples will fork over their welfare and SS dollar to obtain them. That oughta funnel back in a few more redistributed greens.
Didn’t know the post office ran black ops
That's a huge percentage, and a lot of families. It follows that many blacks would not support a political party that campaigns on the premise of smaller, limited government. There is another thread going here at FR where a freeper was told by a postal clerk that he voted for Ubama because Romney would close down his post office.
Someone fax me a crying towel.
HEE-hee-hahahahahahahahahaha..........
Good. Let em all go stand in line outside the white house for a job. Massah barack will take care of them.
if the USPS is losing money, they must streamline even more, and that means fewer jobs....
as always, its not so much the pay as it is the benefits and the pensions....
gee....if pensions weren't so high, maybe they could keep more actual workers on...
Over-representation.
Elections have consequences. Which means they’ll just raise postal rates to avert affecting ‘black jobs’.
This story reminds me of an old joke, regarding a shoe store chain, and their commonality with The Postal Service. Anyone ?
Worst-rated PO in the country is Merrifield, VA in the Peoples Demokratic Socialist Republik of Fairfax County, outside of Washington, D.C.
Gee, I wonder why?
This situation really is not about ‘jobs’. It is about how to sustain an ongoing wealth transfer to a minority group that lacks the education and marketable skills to compete in the private economy.
The fact that these obsolete jobs pay upwards of $50K annually with full benefits and essentially ‘tenure’ amounts to another entitlement that has to be dealt with. Looking at the Bureau of Labor Statistics from 2009 to 2010, the federal job rolls grew by a million from 2009 to 2010 from 15 to 16 million. A lot of that is Homeland Security, another largely intrusive and unproductive cost drain.
The Congress hasn’t got the will to stand up to Obama and the Democrats. When default comes, and it will, our collapsed government will bring us to Civil War II.
Sympathy can be found in any Webster dictionary...... it’s between sh!t and syphilis.
Around the DC area, there is a strong black middle class. Many are highly educated with master’s degrees or higher, and have pretty strong families. Most are directly or indirectly connected to government money though, and so they will vote to keep the money flowing as long as possible. But when the inevitable cuts have to happen, they will be cut like everyone else. They will have to take a step down in pay when they enter the private sector, but it isn’t like they don’t have any marketable skills. They will survive.
Well, first I would rather see employees like emeritus professor of history Robert Zieger lose their cushy jobs. He doesn’t even deliver my mail.
