In a “farewell address” at the National Press Club on Jan. 6, outgoing Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe blamed postal unions and mailers for Congress’ refusal to enact his legislative proposals. But union leaders accused Donahoe of launching an all-out assault on the Postal Service and of hiding the truth about widespread mail delays caused by his policies. “He’s not telling the truth on delivery 
standards,” American Postal Workers Union President Mark Dimondstein said in an interview with the Washington Post. “Instead of cutting back hours of service, they should expand hours of service,” Dimondstein said. APWU President Mark Dimondstein told USA Today Donahoe was “the worst Postmaster General the Postal Service has ever seen,” and NALC President Fredric Rolando told the Washington Post that Donahoe “is mired in blaming everyone but himself.”

Mr. Donahoe talked about cutting benefits and pensions, but I did see him cutting his benefits or pension. Stand up and lead. What good for the goose in this case is not good for the gander. All talk but very little leadership. Mr. Donahoe, cut your pension in half, give it back to the struggling P.O,, or just like everyother politican, cut other peoples pensions and raise yours. good ridence.
