If we want the USPS to be successful we have to get congress out of the way.
Speaking as a retired letter carrier,the biggest problems with the USPS is the freaking communist union leadership,and the AA supervisors and station managers. If you are blind,crippled,and a cross-dressing trans-sexual who is black,you are guaranteed to ace the exam and be hired right off the street at a station manager.
OK,OK,that is an exaggeration. You WILL be hired as a letter carrier or a clerk,though,and once your probationary period has ended,you can start filing discrimination complaints,and THAT is will get you promoted to a management position. ESPECIALLY if you are a homosexual. I saw this happen,and ended up working for one of the slugs for a short period before she got promoted to a bigger job to get rid of her. Of course,her girlfriend got promoted to a similar job at a station in the same city she went to so the happy couple wouldn't be separated.
She was such a charming bitch,too. I was a T6 covering my second route for the day and came back to the station later than she wanted,and she met me on the loading dock and starting ranting and raving about how "You men are useless! You should all be castrated at birth!" I am sure she might have had more,but that was when I told her that if she didn't STFU I was going to knock her ugly ass out. She then stormed into her office and locked the door. She was only there a couple more months before getting her promotion to another city,but she pretty much left me alone after that. It didn't stop her from talking to the other letter carriers like that,though. Only the males,of course. Female letter carriers never head a single negative word from her.
