We didn’t like it when AIG and B of A were giving bonuses with our money, so, why should we like is when the deep in red ink USPS is giving bonuses while holding their hand out and looking to cut services? Worst run corporation in America. Fire Potter and all his cronys.

HOW TO SAVE THE USPS

Put a 1 or 2 cents stamp on e-mails. Use that money to subsidize the USPS.

HUH? I am a supervisor and I did not get a BONUS. I got a 3% pay increase for pay for performance so where is my $5,638,109 Merit Bonus or even my $983,473 lump sum? Every employee (with their overtime) makes more money than I do. You guys got more in cost of living increases than my pay increase. Don’t be miss-led by seenoevil. These are totals devideded among thousands of people. My lump sum award was $198.00 (before taxes). Any carrier or clerk want to try to go on vacation for that amount of money? We had a couple od large pizzas and rented a couple of movies from my great wealth. If we want the US Postal Service to continue, we just all need to do our jobs the best we can every day.

I agree that the 75 million in overpayment needs to be addressed.
The problems we are facing folks, are technological in nature.
As the postal service has automated, this has impacted the labor force.
The focus of our work should not be profit motive.
This is a service created for the American public.
Hence, The monopoly of 1rst class mail is in our domain.
What we don’t need is another top-heavy government
agency.

Hey longislandlarry, maybe they should have a guy pounding a drum and another guy with a whip and have all the employees in chains like the good old roman days!

Without question delivery should be Monday,Wednesday,and Friday. They must modify the Postal Reorganization Act, to eliminate Collective Bargaining for wages and benefits. Employees should receive whatever equivalent grades for federal employees are. COLA’s, pay increases, should be the same as the feds. Arbitration should be eliminated for all grievances with the exception of adverse actions. Close post offices where the expenses do not equal the offices revenue. Stamps by Mail. This is the new model!!

i agree with all the comments so far . everyone that has commented must be employed by usps.management runs the usps like they are untouchable and they are pushing the usps out of business.i think they want to privatize and they must feel the private company that takes. over will hire the current managers to run the business.what the postal service needs is recent college grads with new ideas to fix i mean save the usps
