Viewing "facilities" from across the counter and then implying you have spent many hours watching USPS operations inside of dozens of main facilities is not exactly a qualification. Seeing how they move your packages from the counter to the hamper, or from your dock to a truck doesn't qualify either, but nice try.
I am no fan of unions at all. But I have seen good employees saved from gross injustice by them. I have seen slugs defended by them also, unfortunately. I think it is fair to say that the problems caused by unions and poor employees are no different across USPS, UPS, FedEX and others, so why bring it up and pick one organization to malign?
The Post’s operation is sloppier than Ups or Fedex. It just is. You can rant and deny and claim I don’t know what I’m talking abut all you want. It won’t change reality. Our UPS and Fedex drivers show up the same time every day for drop off and pick up. They don’t miss days. Our daily parcel pick up from the Post will vary over a window of 1 1/2 hours. Pick up drivers are constantly clueless about how their own system is supposed to operate. Half the time they come without their scanners. About once every 8-10 days they fail to show up at all and and will have to be called. The tracking system is inferior to it’s competitors. The package insurance system basically does not work. It does not have to be this way. It persists because the political will to fix it doesn’t exist.
