BE MISERABLE MAILMAN AND THINK ABOUT GOING POSTAL


MAKE $60K A YEAR FOR WORK MONKEYS COULD DO
 
But fedex, ups, and all other common carriers ARE required to deliver to all legal addresses.

I deliver to places the mail carrier never has to go to.
 
Well, considering the main business of the postal service is door to door delivery, it seems likely the labor ratio would be much higher.

But the fact is they need to reduce their work force. They entered into agreements they shouldn't have, and they have an obligation to honor those agreements as best they can. There neeRAB to be changes in the way public sector unions negotiate, and there neeRAB to be an out for governments that just can't afford the bills. I would say that all future contracts need to have a way to allow mass layoRAB. The idea of having 220,000 that need to be laid off/fired is absolutely ridiculous. They had to see this coming for several years.
 
They can be used there though. I mean, they'd be more beneficial if they could be used elsewhere but not being able to reassign them to another city or whatever doesn't mean there is no benefit in having them be able to work at their current location when someone is sick or on vacation.
 
Usps had to over pay their pensions and forced to keep a schedule that makes no sense. Any private company would have adjusted when the business world changed
