Another way to bolster the RAT scam. Cut out Saturday delivery - save a ton of loot. Deliver every other day - save even more loot. Deliver once a week - oh, my.
Should fit in well with the dems vote by mail idea.
the only person I know that still depends on physical mail as their primary means of receiving mail is my 87 year old mother :-)
I don’t recall the last piece of physical mail I received that I didn’t also get in an email. I could live without physical mail
“So you didn’t get that physical letter from your uncle with the $50,000 check he left you in his will?”
I paraphrased that from a comedy :-)
Postal union caused their own demise
Don’t play their game! The USPS has been operating at a huge loss for decades and will still do so in the near future. It’s just a DemonRat trick to get people arguing among themselves.
I’d be fine with Congress simply ending the theft of $5 billion a year from the USPS coffers.
They need to go to a M W F schedule
This accomplishes several things. The cuts give the agency cover when the problems don't disappear with the added funding, and it gives the politicians plausible (though bogus) talking points supporting a claim of "fiscal responsibility".
Once the negotiations reach a conclusion, both sides can claim victory, at least until the process begins again for the next fiscal year.
Dissolve this union, then let’s talk.
“Under the new 2018 – 2021 National Agreement, employees will receive four retroactive pay raises. The current rates went into effect on February 29, 2020 and will be reflected for the first time in earnings for Pay Period 09-2020. Pay Period 09 begins Saturday, April 11. Pay checks will be dated for May 1, 2020. Retro pay covering the period from September 24, 2018 through April 10, 2020 will follow.”
Dissolve this union, then we will talk.
I still have to depend on the USPS for some things and their Priority Mail, or When It Fits, It Ships, are not only competitively priced with Fedx and UPS it's as reliably on time except for extreme weather interruptions that impact everyone.
If you sell on Ebay, there a lot of people who prefer USPS deliveries for whatever reason.
As for Saturday delivery, I thought it was already gone.
“.....another $14 billion to pay off debt related to a retirement benefits program - “
So they are wanting to take money from working taxpayers and give it to retired gov’t workers who no longer provide any useful work/benefit for the USPS or the taxpayer?
Outlawing all public unions and pensions would be a good start.
Did the DNC write it?
Let's see, that's:
* 207 employees per county (650,000 / 3141) Link.
* 13,000 employees per state (650,000 / 50)
* .0018 employee per US person (650,000 / 350,000,000)
What was the number of employees in 2000? Should be a bunch less than 650,000 given email and online everything. But I bet it's not, primarily because the employees are unionized.
Let's at least end Sat delivery and cut an appropriate number of employees.
I was a letter carrier before I was a doctor, and I switched from the Post Office Department to the Postal Service in 1971.
Carrying the mail is a legitimate, Constitutional function of the Federal Government (as it is in any real nation). Competing on an even basis with Fedex and UPS is not.
WE DON’T NEED PEOPLE DELIVERING TRASH AND SPAM ITEMS TO OUR HOMES 6 DAYS A WEEK!!!
cut out Wednesdays
m-t-th-f-sat
Incidentally do not post Huff-post septic crap which is spewed out from multiple body orifices of perverted treasonous Communists
Businesses has had its balls sliced off, and the USPS is feeling it. This was predictable. The geniuses in government created the problem, let them solve it.
How about we put the sba under the post office to deliver the disaster aid checks.
The Postal Service has become obsolete
Weekly would be enough for me, as 80 percent of what I get is called “junk mail,” which is promptly placed in the recycle box.
