Public Employee Unions Are Our Friends!

[Pierced Kiss]

Keep failing, bro.






See ya in a week.

All types of addresses, pedantic clowns -- specifically rural addresses. If UPS and FedEx didn't price discriminate against rural customers (and had a broad universal service), there would be no need for the 1st class delivery monopoly.

There's nothing to avoid, champ.

Looks like someone is silly enough to think actually think that the USPS's services make for apples-to-apples comparisons with UPS or FedEx.

 

[JBCleere]

UPS and FedEx can pick-and-choose high-density areas to focus their services on.



WELL, I FUCKING WONDER HOW THEY KEEP LABOR COSTS DOWN?!

 

[supercoolawesomechick]

Non-career employees are not union merabers, are less expensive than career employees, and generally work harder because they have zero job security.

Yet they are the ones that get laid off ... because of the unions.



IT'S A BENEFIT!

30 days sound good?

The employees are still available to work; Some spend a few hours on standby and then move back to the floor when a shipment of mail arrives.They are still available to work. They are put into standby until a delivery is made. If someone (who would have been on the floor sorting mail or whatever) calls in sick then a mail sorter person who would have had been on standby had the other worker not called in sick would be put to work filling in.

This isn't that complicated.

The Post Office pays thousanRAB of its workers millions of dollars each year to do nothing.

[gabbieful]

That bit of blatant bullshit was the best you had?

 

[Kris young]

Government wages/benefits are absurd to begin with; throw in collective bargaining and, well....this is what you get.

 

[mic the cat]

Call it what you want. It's still indisputable that having trained workers ready to fill loaded schedules is a benefit.

 

[angeleyes33_1970]

Normal retail would just have them schedules for a half day with possible called in early, not paid to sit.

 

[chelseafcfreak]

lol.... you go ahead and post proof that the USPS pays millions of dollars to workers without having a benefit from paying these workers.

We can do a ban of 7 days.

 

[Caedence]

Nice try, good night sweet princess.

 

[lindseyp1977]

ban bet?

You should tell the moRAB to double his sentence because he's wasting their time.

 

[Adrianne S]

There are very few zip codes outside of alaska where there is a rural fee, and it's there for a valid reason. Usps wont deliver to their doors at all, but you cry because we charge more?

So desperate.


I already stomped on your theory though.If you're going to argue that having trained workers on standby is beneficial, then you're going to have to address the problem of laying off non-career employees whose purpose for being hired is to inexpensively pick up the slack.
