A five day delivery week would solve many financial problems within the Postal service but will the UNIONS support such a change.I doubt it.Can we as a public service grow accustomed to a five day delivery week,you bet.Willl the public endorse a five day delivery week ,,probably even if they really have no say in it.The postal service is so large that people in the world really have no say at all.The general public hears only what is offered and said by this behemoth of a non profit service.Is the postal service a good deal for the price,you bet.
Do it and get it over ,no one wants a 2 year lets wait and see maybe situation. BUT
Lets down size first with new blood to lead the way.
1.OFFER A EARLY OUT FOR ALL CSRS EMPLOYEES WITH OF COURSE MONEY
2.GET RID OF THE SO CALLED MICRO MANAGED ATTITUDE OR NO ONE WILL WANT TO BE A CAREER EMPLOYEE
3.PROMOTE THE ACHIVERS WHO CAN LEAD US,NOT THE I CAN MAKE THEM WHAT I WANT MANAGERS.
At the present time no one who has ever been involved as an employee would recommend any one to come to work for the USPS because of the internal problems.
4AND THIS IS A BIG ONE,GET RID OF THE PREHISTORIC DELIVERY SYSTEM.
ALL MAIL DELIVERY SHOULD BE CURB SIDE DELIVERY UNLESS IT IS A BUSINESS WITH OUT A CURB AREA.BUT ALL RESIDENTIAL CAN AND SHOULD BE CURB SIDE DELIVERY.CAN YOU IMAGINE THE MONEY SAVINGS ALONE WITH LESS HEALTH PROBLEMS FOR THE CARRIERS.I AM SURE YOU ALSO KNOW THAT 20 TO 30 PERCENT MORE DELIVERIES CAN BE MADE WITH A CURB SIDE DELIVERY SERVICE THAN A WALK THE ROUTE DELIVERY AND THAT IS FOR EVER CARRIER CITY OR RUAL DELIVERY.
Of course I am a 26 year employee and have seen it alll .It can change but
only if the top dog says it will change ,everyone else could care less.
By the way who is the top dog…………………………..
