Being a postal carrier doesn’t seem like a bad gig. You get to walk around the neighborhood, drop some mail off, get to chat with residents and passersby. Of course, if you live in a cold-weather area, it might not be so fun in February slogging through freezing temperatures and slushy sidewalks. Still, I imagine being a coal miner would be a lot tougher.
But the life of a postal carrier has become more difficult in recent times, as more and more of them are getting robbed, all around the nation—sometimes even at gunpoint. Postal union executive vice president Paul Barner said conditions are growing intolerable:
“The National Association of Letter Carriers is outraged and angered by the assaults, armed robberies and even murders that America’s letter carriers increasingly face as they deliver the mail. These attacks are completely unacceptable,” he said.
