Take this article and others I found to the fight to the Libs on their own turf; put the Left on the defensive at Digg and at Reddit and in Stumbleupon and Delicious
privatize the usps.
lazy union workers have destroyed the usps.
What a petty, weak and paltry attempt at reform. Virtually 100% of the small post offices in rural counties should be closed and replaced with a combination of RURAL ROUTE CARRIER DELIVERY SERVICE ~ which would include appropriately placed NCDBDUs.
Second, reap the reward of vast improvements in postal innovation and productivity improvement by removing about half the Distribution Clerks.
Third, eliminate vestiges of DOOR DELIVERY. No one should be getting a carrier at the door every day. Put those boxes on the streets.
Post office box service rents should be adjusted to reflect fully attributable costs of the real estate and equipment, direct costs of distribution to the boxes (since delivery is still going to be made to the door of the box holder), and the SECURITY afforded by being performed inside a postal facility ~ many with armed guards.
As far as the fringe benefits are concerned the Reorganization Act requires they not be of less value than those in the rest of the federal government at the time the USPS was set up.
Other than that everything is negotiable.
BTW, the average postal employee MAKES LESS INCOME than your average federal government employee. If you want to whack some salaries, whack the federales eh!
I think you are trying to convince me that Issa is mentally ill.
He's not, right?
Guarantee he knows about the financial situation where the US Government is in hock to the USPS, not the other way around.
