I do know that in my brother’s city they fired a carrier after they found about a ton of mail (much of it first class) stashed at her house because she “did not feel like delivering it”. She had been caught with illegal drugs in her delivery vehicle and had allowed a non-postal employee to run her route. She had gotten her job because she was related to the head of the local postal union.
Show me the newspaper article link for that.
That is a BS urban rumor. It happens about once every five or six years. Tell me what you do for a living and I will find four or five articles regarding someone in the profession doing something wrong.
And there are thousands of letter carries. Pointing out one or two is no more effective here, than it is when a politician says it.
Thinking that every letter carrier is a union thug is just insane. Misdirecting mail or delaying its delivery is a felony and will result in immediate dismissal.
Would you risk that for a single vote?
No? Neither would they.
