Another example of union ruination. Postal workers can get the best and same insurance at a fraction of the cost other federal employees must pay. “Collective bargaining” has caused this bankruptcy. Unless there’s an extremely dramatic change it needs to fold and be privatized.

Just curious. I’ve heard that before, but don’t know if it is true. I work for the USPS and pay about $300/month for family coverage. That is up over 200% from last year.

Still a bargain vs most private companies, but how much higher are premiums for the rest of the FedGov? Freepers, anyone know?

Also, we get all kinds of health insurance options from the union. They all suck, but they offer them. Most are lower cost catastrophic coverage, STD, LTD, etc.
