As a 19 year carrier, it’s great we have increased our parcel business. Due to route adjustments during the 2009 depression, we have longer routes with more parcels and an increasing mail volume caused by an uptick in the economy. Management will never bring back routes from the increase, but say “just carry it and get over it”! The hilarious thing is that the new hires are quitting, and they are twenty years younger than me. Change the routes for increasing volume or watch the sick calls increase due to fatigue.

I have been delivering mail for almost 26 years as a City Letter Carrier in(10469) Bronx, New York. I see this job getting worse. Management does not know how to manage mail. At my Station in the Bronx. Overtime is crazy, one day you have 2 hours of Overtime and the next just barely 8 hours of work.
The Postmaster General is destroying the Postal Service. He is the biggest idiot of them all. He recently told Congress that he is not filling vacancies in the Postal Service. How stupid is that. Congress needs to get there act together to improve on service from the Postal Service. Because on my route every day I am being given additional work from another open route which means later deliveries on my route. My customers are noticing how late I am coming and asking why. Something has to be done about this crazy state the Postal Service is in.

Congress enacted this plan in a attempt to bankrupt them, so they can privatize them and steal their pensions. This needs to be repealed.
