“If you are white and don’t have prior military service you can’t get a job with the postal service”

I’m a Vietnam veteran who is white. In the 1970’s I was told flat out I wouldn’t be hired by the Postal Service despite vet’s prefs because (a) I was white and (b) Vietnam vets were regarded as dangerous & unhinged.

Reverse discrimination is a long held tradition in govt.

in 1969 i personally managed the program to hire returning Viet Nam vets into the Post Office Department. i hired over 100,000 young men!

So what was it i didn't do?

There's always been a postal exam ~ you have to take it irst. Then wait. Turnover has been slow except in 1969 ~ that was when big city employees had to have supplemental welfare if they had children! Pay was low.
