And hopefully 3,700 “Postmasters.”
And when did you ever see any of them cut from the top down?
That's exactly what is being proposed. In my area, the next town is 10 or so miles away, and they're proposing closing that post office, moving the route carriers to MY office, and leave the post master and the building there. The Post Master is eligible for two more years at his current pay scale, but he could just as well retire. His job goes away. The carriers remain, but are relocated.
