They need to make a more drastic reduction of mail delivery than simply eliminating Saturday delivery.
How about reducing delivery to just one or two days per week?
How about makeing the a holes work harder for less pay and benefits
Great to cut services, but what if you have to mail something that needs to be there, with delivery confirmation ASAP? Or vital documents that HAVE to be in your mailbox by date “x”? As with everything the government touches it turns to crap. No reason why postal workers “need” to be unionized. Not like the government would ever actually fire some incompetent fool.
I would have no heartburn with having only two days of delivery a week. Most people that I work with....feel the same way. This might shock the postal folks and the politicians.
We aren’t living in the 1940s anymore. I remember my dad (a rural mail carrier for thirty years)...having people desperately show up at the mail box on the day which their social security check was supposed to arrive...standing there in hostile feelings when he simply didn’t have the check in his bag. And if this was two days late....there would be significant chat about why it was late...always delaying him on the route. He always noted that social security mail-day was the worst day of the month for him. Today, folks all get the check in their bank-account...right on time.
I agree. I only check my box once or twice a week.
Beyond Netflix DVD’s and a couple of bills I can’t get online, everything else in my box is trash.
