Postal Service Looks To Cut 40,000 Jobs

Quote from nutmeg:

You can't stop Saturday deliveries. There is no way you can tack on Sat mail onto monday. Can't be sorted or carried and delivered by one mail carrier on Monday.

Carriers routes are paid (a portion) by the piece of mail so there is no labor savings.

We've never had Saturday deliveries in Canada that I know of, it works fine monday to friday.
 
Quote from Mercor:

Yes, First thing is to stop Saturday deliverys.
Then delivery only every other day.

Big problem are the UNIONS, it is killing them. $25 hr to deliver letters is crazy. It could be done for$15hr

they can stop sending me every single bit of mail....and the only that would change is I'd have to throw out the trash less often..:D

just send me the invites to my kids bday parties and readers digest and I'd be aight....
 
The USPS did not even lay people off during the recession of 2001-2002. Anyone else still holding onto the hope this is not a depression coming?
