i'm so confused.
These two agencies should have acted in some way to protect the postmaster (or any other postal employee) from harrassment by "customers" ~ after all, it's a felony to harrass or threaten a postal employee on the job.
Not sure if her lawyer used that quite obvious claim ~ the Inspectors should have acted ~ but if he didn't, I'll give him a call Monday and make sure he does so in any new action he plans initiating.
A criminal case can be developed against Williams and several of these customers for conspiring to deprive the US Government of lawful fees for services.
I probably know the Postal attorney who found herself defending this crap in court ~ she should seek new employment because this is NOT a personnel situation but a criminal situation calling for involvement of the Postal Inspection Service.
I had to put up with this crap from postal lawyers for 38 years ~ don't get me wrong, there are some good people there, but almost to a man, or woman, they will bow down and kiss the buttocks of virtually any personnel executive.
We once had a fire at USPS Headquarters (circa 1983). It burned out Personnel and the Law Department.
Except for the inconvenience to everyone else, the general agreement was that it couldn't have happened to a more deserving group.
They have not gotten better!~
Of course!. All the mess is a racial thing!!!!!. I wonder why I, being a foreigner and having a strong accent, I haven't noticed racial harrassment against me. Maybe because I am not a jerk?.
We have a post mistress here that has managed to alienate just about all the residents of the town.
The local postmaster of our town was an affimrative action appointment. The regional postmaster is headquartered in Gary, Indiana. If you familiar with gary Indiana it is aprox 95% black. You can guess what type of person they might be. Well the city and many of the surrounding rural cities have postmasters all apointed by the same inept postmaster from gary based soley on.............well not leadership skills. FYI we have lots of problems with the post office here as far as mail coming late. The problem is they are short staffed and the postmaster erefuses to hire people and lets all the women go home early.

Based on the fact that the 9th is overturned more than it's upheld, I'd say their ruling is a clear indication of the USPS's being in the right.
The trial court screwed up, so she gets another trial. It's a good decision. But man, what a bunch of freaks in that town. She needs to get the heck out of there.
