110,000 manager/support jobs and 465,000 clerk/carrier jobs. The clerk.carrier ranks have been cut back by 200,000 since the yr 2000. THE PROBLEM is too many management jobs, and those filling them misusing their ‘authority’ to bully, harass and intimidate craft workers:all for the sole purpose of saving their own bloated, over-staffed jobs.
Without Postal “Reform” in 2006, the PO would not be in the red now. And whatever problems could be dealt with because they wouldn’t be catastrophic. It’s all a shell game anyway. The USPS (federal) owes the federal government money.
