When you can, for 44 cents, deliver a letter from NY to California, with an on-time rate above 95%, you must be doing something right! <br /><br />The troubles with the USPS have nothing to do with efficiency. The USPS has seen consistent prouctivity gains every year since the '90s. <br /><br />The USPS problems stem from Congressional meddling, overpayment by over $156 billion into the CSRS and FERS retirement funds, and an upper management bent on cutting service rather than growing service.<br /><br />No, my friend, the USPS is not inefficient. It's employees have stepped up to the plate and continue to get the job done. Look elsewhere for your Scott Walker-ish union busting rhetoric.Drewk86anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563539329592161652.post-82944831207956937542011-02-25T18:17:46.494-05:002011-02-25T18:17:46.494-05:00Hello, In response to anonymous about breaking up ...Hello, In response to anonymous about breaking up the union so post offices can be run moire efficiently, I t is obvious that you never belonged to a union or worked at a post office. If the postal service becomes privately run, th work turnover rate would have a negative impact on timely, correct dervice and deliveries. It is a science to remember anfd recognize addresses and names. Alos, would you like to work in below zero weather, 100degree heat and not be compensated? There is a reason why many postal employees have life long health and job-related injuries. It is paert of the job. So the next time you see an employee, look past the complaints generated by most management decisions and think about how hard, mentallky stressful and physical the jobs reallky are.

Attacking someone's writing substance and denouncing legitimate points because of a couple of spelling mistakes is the weakest form of counter-argument.<br /><br />What do you think about this?<br /><br />New bill in the Senate - refund CSRS overpeyment over 30-years beginning in 2012 and adjust the remaining PAEA health-care pre-funding to a 30-year-term. No other strings attached. Call it something like The Simple Adjustment Postal Act of 2011. (SAPA - or something like that). <br /> <br />OGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563539329592161652.post-70339213010644270882011-02-23T15:40:04.865-05:002011-02-23T15:40:04.865-05:00I think the post office ought to break up the unio...I think the post office ought to break up the unions so they can be run more efficiently.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
