I love these folks that say get rid of days like Tuesday. What a bunch of selfish,envious POS’es. Like postal workers do not have families. We do not have ballgames to go to on Saturday for our kids , or just want to enjoy a day with the family at a beach or a movie or whatever. Do not kid yourself folks. Many of the people that still want us to deliver on Saturday, are just miserable folks that wish they worked for the USPS. They feel a little bit better about themselves because we get to work on Saturday and they do not.

ANYMAN you make too much sense. It really is stupid that in they year 2010, USA is only nation that has m-f, and that includes Canada as well having m-f. How can we preach about monetary waste and most importantly environmental waste, to the rest of the world , when we blatantly, abuse the environment on so many levels , in order to appease a few people still living in the age of the dinosaurs??? It is beyond stupid! I think the reason these congressman are fighting it so much is because the old farts are the ones that vote in the highest numbers. Gutless public servants, should anyone be surprised.

They just don’t get it,the PO want to reduce staffing but dont want to spend any money. Offer a real early out and one year pay and get out the way because lots of senior employees will take these assholes up on the offer, write your congress person and anyone else who listen. Spend a little money now and the payroll would be down next year.

This is just a precurser to five day delivery. Start with one Saturday a month and we will prove that we are not needed “every” Saturday…

Does’nt everyone understand rhar craft employees are not paid by the hour. Our pay is set by the collective bargaining agreement and if congress/Potter wants to pay me to sit at home fine with me. I could use the extra time off especially in July/August time frame.

You’re an IDIOT!! You must be in Management! or just stupid like PMG POTTER, who should be FIRED!! (A long time ago) pull your head out of your/ (managements) rear end and take a look at the big picture, Potter is a liar, and he continues to LIE. The USPS is so TOP HEAVY! and needs to be reduced by at least 75% Why do we need so many Executive Managers??? They are the reason for the failure of the USPS, starting with PMG POTTER, if they (HIS FLUNKIES) weren’t sucking up to him so much, hell if he made a fast turn they would all break their necks that’s how far their heads are up his butt, I say “FIRE” ALL OF THEM!! and put someone in charge who has the “BEST” interest of the USPS as their “PRIORTY” and who wants to “SERVICE” our CUSTOMERS, (NOT CUT SERVICE) like Potter is doing! How do we generate REVENUE? if PMG POTTER CONTINUES CUTTING SERVICE??? WE NEED TO GROW THE USPS, NOT SHRINK IT!!

What is wrong with taking the lightest day-Usually Tuesday. And while we are at it, get the $75 billion bac and start cutting at the top instead of at the bottom where all the workers are that move the mail everyday!
