Everything is going up these days and there IS inflation. STOP comparing Postal Workers to “comparable private sector jobs”….what job and or companies are you comparing us to? And “which” Postal Jobs? As a carrier I do not think anything “compares”…some are “somewhat” similiar, but only in the fact they “deliver”. But they deliver nothing on the scale we do 6 days a week. And the mail is not “all-together” everyday when we walk in, ready to deliver(load and go). That is a Postal myth plus City and Rural still differ on “how” they put the mail together and deliver….

“This proposed rate increase amounts to another tax imposed on Americans at a time when the economy can least afford it,” said Tony Conway, Executive Director of the Alliance of Nonprofit Mailers and Spokesperson for the Affordable Mail Alliance.
This criticism comes from the man who is the Executive Director of an organization whose members can mail a letter for ONLY 8 CENTS !!!!!!!!! (non-profit rates). How about we raise their cost to mail up to about 25c and maybe TOTALLY erase the Postal RED INK !!!!!! Me smells a little hypocrisy in the air !!!!!
