Regardless of what is said or isn't said about salaries, we are a PUBLIC SERVICE organization, corporation, government business. Now how many out there will know that they will have a job in 30 years? Who and what private industry in America can say that other than the Postal Service. Think about it. It's for our customers, it's for our families and it's for our country...that's why each of us do our jobs daily. Quit straining to focus on the negative of short term and look at the long term. Where will your job be in 30 years? Sheds a new light don't you think! I think this is something every postal employee should see.

It is a known fact that moral in the USPS is at an all time low. Perhaps the "decision makers" should think about who actually makes the system work thereby justifying their large increases. Perhaps they need to consider sharing the wealth. Productivity will never increase when only a select few reap the benefits. If you are comparing the salaries of high level executives to the private sector then do so for all employees as well.

All they do is continue to cut SERVICE! Why do these Beaurecrats continue to thrive??? We all know - Load your pockets and retire or go to a Private sector job. In all reality they are no nothings that have the power to manipulate the system for their own benfit and he Hell with the Postal Service. History will always reapeat itself.

I think they need to dissolve the Postal Service Board of Governors. The crafts are the people who make the postal service operate and yet get no recognition.

Yet ALWAYS claim the craft employees are overpaid, even though PRIVATE SECTOR wages for delivery empoyees in other companies (UPS, FEDEX, DHL etc) are the same or higher than postal employee wages. Typical Conservative, White Collar, Republican self serving hypocrisy! Greedy selfserving bunch of crooks. These bastards always cite “private sector” pay levels to justify their own pay raises.

The US Postal Service employsees 700,000 employees and has a budget of over 60 billion dollars. The USPS moves more mail in a year than all the wolrds postal services combined. While facing enormouns competition from electronic mediums, the Service continues to improve productivity and reliability. The enormous responsibilities of managing such a huge organization is worth much more than the pittance he and his fellow officers are being paid. The Postal Service is not funded by taxpayer dollars, and is mandated to pay its own way. They are underpaid.
