Doesn’t the postal service have some sort of contract workers now? Used to be a job with the postal service was great - good pay and benefits. Not sure it’s like that these days.

Aging workforce, yes. But as for insurance, retirees have to pay their own premiums if they choose to have insurance (as do postal employees). And as far as the pension, they have put their own money into a private fund which was supposedly invested for them in various places - and should be worth far more than the monthly pension paid out - except I’m sure congress has robbed that lock-box too.
