[quote=Anonymous]Thanks to an incompetent Congress who (poorly) micromanage the USPS the USPS cannot increase the postage rates to actually have enough staff.  The postal carriers now have double or triple routes to handle.  Many of them work 12-15 hour days at the same pay scale (no raises) that they used to get paid for 8-10 hour days.  They are forced to deliver mail as quickly as possible and no longer really have the luxury of even those few seconds it takes to adjust your mail a second time because over the course of a day, that would add another hour or two to their day.

If you really want better mail service, try lobbying your Congress representative and Senator to get them to allow USPS management to set postage rates so that they can actually pay the carriers a reasonable rate, and hire enough carriers to adequately deliver the over 600 million pieces of mail to over 142 million locations it handles daily.

And, no, I am not a postal employees, I just happen to have a couple of friends who are postal employees.  I know one that barely sees his kids anymore because he leaves for work before they get up and gets home after they get home.  And he's a mailman for crying out loud making middle class wages, not an overpaid lawyer.[/quote]
