[Surprise!]

Where does Amazon stand when the Postal Service is looking for hand outs to keep it running?


Is it possible we are in a position that is beneficial to Amazon?

They'll likely buy all the fancy new S&DCs for pennies on the dollar... New Amazon distribution centers...

The article reads:

Only after completing the Amazon deliveries may carriers return to their regular route to deliver USPS mail.
Yet the analysis of Aricle 30.2.Q states:

Article 30.2.Q. Additional Duties (1999)​

New language which indicates management may require that leave replacements perform additional duties upon completion of the daily route assignment. These duties may consist of delivery of Express Mail, auxiliary assistance on other rural routes, and any other rural carrier craft duties. The leave replacement will receive the daily evaluation for the assigned route and hourly compensation for the additional duties performed.​
