Early-out incentive buyout would help….

Comment on 3 Senators Want Blue Ribbon Commission To Help USPS Increase Revenue by ZACK

Ain’t no “Blue-Ribbon Commission” gonna do any good if the PMG has his own agenda to run it into the ground. Either the PMG is a complete moron, or his intent is to destroy the USPS. Either way, it should be perfectly clear that the PMG is not the right man for the job! Rather than compete for the Parcel business that is out, or sink waiting for first-class mail volumes to rebound. Cutting your own throught to save money – does nothing in the way of generating money.

Here’s a novel idea – replace the PMG with someone who not only knows how to run a business, but at more, has a track record of success. Steve Jobs is a prime example. If the USPS is the second largest employer in the U.S., and could list in the top Fortune 500 of companies, if it were privatized, then lets quit appointing PMG’s that started off in the USPS as a Carrier, Clerk, and/or Mail Handler. These people only rose to the top through cronyism, nepatism, and so forth. It’s the good’ol boy system if you havn’t noticed.

Finally, someone is making sense! This isn’t rocket science people. Just common-sense. Now we need to get rid of those people within the USPS – the PMG, etc., that are obviously on a mission to destroy the USPS, before we can begin to save it.

Comment on Letter Carriers mobilize to oppose FERS bill by Judy Carlton

I like almost all of 1789 except the part where they would take away your postal annunity and reduce retirement to social security and TSP only, is that what you want? Of course we want the early out offer of cash and service credit, but, what about a monthly check to retire on? Don’t you want that too? Before you people start downing the Unions, you’d better take a better look, Remember your TSP is invested in the stock market which means it’s subject to huge losses, if that happens, then all you have is social security, who can live on that? I for one need the monthly check, and the carriers need Saturday delivery in order to prevent massive lay offs, so lets just sit tight and wait for the best reform possible, 1789 is not it, it’s close but is missing the retirement check. I want to reitre so bad I can taste it, if the right one comes along, I’m gone, but I do care about the health and future of the Postal Service, my daughter works there and has to support her family and reitre someday too. We have to look out for more than just ourselves.

S. 1789 as it is currently written

GOOGLE……….U.S. SENATE………Choose your “SENATOR HOME” State. Look for the area in which to write and send your comment.
I wrote ” I work for the U.S.P.S. and I do not oppose S1789 in it’s current form”. This bill offers three types of incentives not to be combined.
1. 50,000 cash.
2. 5 years added on to your FERS retirement
3. 5 year added on to your CSRS retirement.

* NOTE: Remember you can only choose one of the three.
