Unions have forced them to retain inept, worthless, brain dead employees.

One of my cousins retired from the post office recently.

He has always been a hard worker at whatever he did.

He sorted mail in a huge building.

He said that during his time there, four of his peers were like him, ignoring the union hacks.

When good workers were hired, the union guys intimidated them and got them to slow down.

Told them they got paid no matter if they worked or not.

On the other hand, the mail people out on the routes are timed and held to strict schedules in most cases.

Most of them work their butts off.

Getting rid of Saturday delivery and post offices open Saturday mornings could save some dough.

I was at the postal service for a year many years ago as a clerk. It was true then that if you worked too fast a union person would complain that you were making them look bad so they would transfer you to another task. It amazed me that anything ever got done in that lazy jungle. No one could be fired for anything it seemed.
