U.S. Postal Service :: Will Congress Save it?


[PICTURE LINK]

U.S. Postal Service May End Without Congressional Action | Video - ABC News:
I talked to the wife of a Postal worker yesterday. I asked her if they are worried about the closing of the Postal Service. She said, "Eh..."

I took that to mean, "so what."

Then she added: " They'll never shut down the Post Office."

If she doesn't worry, then I am guessing all others who do not depend on the Post Office absolutely don't care either.

Just checkin'. 'via Blog this'
" ... One of the US governments biggest affirmative action programs – the US Postal Service- is proposing to cut 120,000 jobs and withdraw from Obamacare:
The financially strapped U.S. Postal Service is proposing to cut its workforce by 20 percent and to withdraw from the federal health and retirement plans because it believes it could provide benefits at a lower cost.
In a notice informing employees of its proposals — with the headline “Financial crisis calls for significant actions” — the Postal Service said, “We will be insolvent next month due to significant declines in mail volume and retiree health benefit pre-funding costs imposed by Congress.”
During the past four years, the service lost $20 billion, including $8.5 billion in fiscal 2010. Over that period, mail volume dropped by 20 percent. (Mayor. August 12th, 2011. LINK) ... "

Mayor, I do not have the standard gripes with the USPS that so many do. For 14 years, I’ve used them exclusively for shipping my product both domestically and abroad. Thousands and thousands of packages…and not ONE glitch.

Seriously.

But $41.15 as an average wage? Really? I mean, you are talking “hourly???” I’m wondering if that is the total employee cost per hour…wages, benefits, retirement, health care, etc. I’ve got to look in to that.

And, you are correct. In a rollback, women and minorities will be hardest hit.

Technology definitely will doom the USPS. Hell, if it weren’t for the junk mail it would be defunct already. And, retailers are abandoning that soon, I’m sure. We already are signed up to get our flyers by e-mail from the merchants we frequent. They’ll all wise up eventually, and drop dead tree ads.

There will be weeping, and wailing amongst the masses of USPS employees, no doubt. The truth is that like ALL federal agencies (pseudo as the USPS may be), they’ve over-promised, and demanded too little productivity for high wages. It’s gonna be interesting to see what is left of it. (Andy. August 5, 2011. LINK)
