A NOTE: USPS, famous for folks "going postal" still has less than half the rate of violence encountered in private sector businesses. Just keep that in mind

Good reason for this too.

Generally, government employees are paid more, few cut backs, like in the private sector, they giving more paid days off, given top shelf benefits/healthcare, and not to mention those lottery style retirement benefits, etc., all on the tax payers/private sectors backs.

Postal employees have their retirements paid by people who pay postage ~ not mere taxpayers.

You mean the postage that just keeps going up?

What about what the USPS is getting for jamming citizens mailboxes with obnoxious, unwanted 20,000 tons of junk mail per day?

How much do they rake in for that, on the backs of the tax payers, for these government employee retirements?

Postage is paid by folks who SEND mail. Those who receive it are passive partners in the transaction.

That's why postal workers are not your personal body servants (a misconception many customers have to be disabused of every now and then ~ some folks are just nasty you know).

Postage is collected even from illegal aliens, foreign corporations and, lo and behold, Chicom spies!
