I don't know if the PO can just arbitrarily make / force customers to change. I have this from a NALC brethren.
At least one customer on every block has a problem dog that has been documented. It’s all that is required for carrier safety, the carriers also are on board with the change. I don’t think they realize the implications as a big picture, just see the route as being easier. We do have one older carrier who nothing on route has been changed. Most of city side over the last 3-4 years have seen the old guard retiring.
I am not sure what they are talking about . We already have CBU . That’s what they are gonna be installing. How many door to door deliveries are left for us in USA ? Most of the suburban and citi deliveries already transitioned to CBU . Right ?
New construction yes, old existing especially in more rural America setting ie small towns it’s curbside or door to door. Even new construction in housing developments many in these areas are curbside unless apartments.
Most older neighborhoods built before the PO started with CBU’s are curbside. I cannot see the PO trying to change these to CBU, sounds easy to do, but its NOT.
They have reverted many areas already. They claim parking or safety in most city locations. Especially the beach.
Has not happened in the suburbs where I am. The ongoing problem for years with the various types of CBU is they constantly need repairs & no one wants to do it. The builders in new communities put as little money into the CBU area as possible, so, there is little to no protection from cra&*y weather.
What you say is accurate but keep in mind that we all, meaning society, sabotage ourselves. Just look at how many Postal employees have direct deposit AND auto bill pay for their phones and electric , etc. All of that equates to less mail in the mail stream. I'm all about jobs. I would go into my bank with my check to deposit and one of the tellers asked me why I didn't have direct deposit. I told her that there USED to be four of you up here and now there are two. Which one of you want to lose your job next ? Same thing with self checkouts..........................refuse to use them. That's someone's job. Then we, as a society, order everything because we are either too lazy to go to the store or we claim we have "no time". Well, with the respect to the "no time" , wasn't that one of the big selling points of the computer ? We should have all kinds of time now. Anyway, because we order everything, the local stores shut down and we complain about that AND there goes MORE jobs. Headquarters isn't the least bit concerned with customer service. We've all seen and have experienced the degradation of the service over the years / decades to the customers as well as the "inner service" we as employees experience. It's a shame, too !!!
Except maybe in the case of.....you get your stuff like this, or the usps closes down FOREVER...
Yep...I do too. After a while, theyll make em to where AI can handle em all, AI will fly a drone to the cbu's, and then AI robotics will sort to each individual address, and notify customers their stuff has arrived. I'd guess within 10-15 years that's how it'll be...
