You do not believe the waste at the top in management & upper management & they will never do nothing about it.
Why do we need {P.O.M.S} Why do we need a supervisor per 15 employees.
Why do all all management get a special check every year even when the U.S.P.S is going Broke????

I am a retiree from the USPS, Mail Processing equipment was to replace people and lessen the cost of operation, instead, the Unions and Upper Mngt ask or took more pay raises? What is needed is a freeze on salaries and COL increases for five years and get rid of the unnecessary people positions that do not move the mail. As for Sat. delivery, it is not needed in todays living.

Please cut USPS deliveries to 3 days per week.

Nothing much comes in the mail in 2010. And, that which does come via snail mail is absolutely not urgent.

Let’s put those billions towards improved facilities and programs for public education.

Thanks!

If the rest of the world has no Saturday delivery than why not the USA? Canada is doing ok with a higher life expectancy than us and much more rural and worse weather and they are ok with m-f. Lets tell the whole story folks.

He remembered hearing AS A CHILD. This Tester guy is an idiot. We have a world of soldiers dying for no reason, environmental collapse and basically a societal gone totally amuk. Tester is worried about the little old lady. These public servants are way off on this one. Save the USPS but more importantly preserve the enviroment , curtail Saturday delivery.

the unions don’t want it, They will lose 30,000 paying members and then will have to charge more to current members. Current members will get made and start dropping out. There goes the unions. Just the old people care about the mail, they don’t know how to use the internet.

Read the blogs posted by our customers. Most don’t care about Saturday deliveries. Now who’s not listening?

When it goes under don’t blame management for the demise. Blame unions and congress….Mail volume will continue to decline and by the time someone want to do something about it , it will be too late. Why people only see what they want to see is beyond me. This is the internet age wheather we like or not..

“Folks in rural and frontier communities often rely on their Saturday mail to bring them the things they need to live,”
Folks in truly rural and frontier communities in Montana would love an increase in service to 5 days a week. Places in Montana like Polebridge, North Lambert, South Brockton, north Richey etc. that are truly rural and frontier only get delivery 3 days per week.

Saying that communities like this can’t live with 5 day delivery is a pretty lame argument IMHO.
