Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds

the unions, and......

1) better working conditions

2) many older letter carriers that actually DID the rounds....retired

3) men that are really, "girls", and crying about the work loads

4) the USPS under Dejoy making them go back to the postal office and get MORE mail to deliver, rather than the next day

5) in the end........lazy azzed workers, that steal the packages, or throw them down a gully, or milk the system for more money with LESS work.

My mail stopped for more than a week during the recent winter storm. When it finally started up again just a couple of days ago, I expected my mail box to be full. Nope, just a couple of ads. I suspect, that they stopped the trucks running between cites during the ice and are still playing catch up. :rolleyes:

My younger son took a job as a mail carrier. He liked the work, but the bureaucracy was a PITA. They only hire part time mail carriers now. If you're lucky you might work one or two days a week to start. Some weeks you may not work at all. Nobody can live on that. You can have another job like normal folks, but USPS has to be the priority. If they call you to work, you HAVE to show up. No excuses. The other job has to do without you that day. That makes it hard to keep a regular full time job. And about the only way you can get on full time with USPS is for someone to either retire or die. My son liked the work, benefits were good, it had a good future if he could have gotten on full time, but in the end, he had to quit just in order to survive.
Yeah, USPS is a mess. 🤬

The money these days is with the trades, pipefitters, boilermakers, electricians, plumbers, etc. A young journeyman in a trade will out earn a college grad 10 to 1.
