We are deeply concerned by recent media reports that the Trump Administration plans to disband the U.S. Postal Service’s governing board and seize control of this vital public institution through executive order—a move that paves the way for privatization and the stripping away of the Universal Service Obligation. This strategy threatens the very lifeline that ... Read more

Our problem is that public approval has gone down over the years thanks to the internet and bad Postal Management.
 
Maston is a moron.....I say, Shake the Sugar tree, and see what happens. Hopefully a bunch of big fatcats that been running this thing into the ground break there necks when they hit the ground after the shakeup....😐
I've been working here thirty years, and I can say without a doubt that the tree needs to be pruned, shaken, and reshaped. Look at DeJoy...yes some of his actions have been controversial, but he has hands down brought more change in five years than all of the other ones did in the twenty five years prior, sitting on their pompous rumps doing nothing. Good or bad, at least he seemed involved in the operations that are going on.

The union fat cats won't shut up about this, because they see it as a threat to their fat cat gravy train jobs.... they could care less about what impacts WORKING carriers every day, but threaten their world and they'll cry endlessly.... sorta like when the decertify efforts were ongoing... I hope all these feckless union dweebs get what's coming for them via DOGE... :unsure: 🤷‍♂️👉:oops:

All -- Sorry, I don't have access to the latest membership numbers regarding regular carriers, PTFs, ARCs, and RCAs

Regarding the last 2 lines of the statement -- It appears to be a numbers game.

-- The NRLCA ( mis- ) represents 130,000 career and non-career rural carriers.

-- Those 130,000 carriers serve 80,000 routes.

-- That supposedly leaves 50,000 carriers available ( or nearly so ) to cover the 80,000 routes when the regular carriers needs to be off for leave, appointments, or whatever.

-- Somewhat doubtful that all the 80,000 routes would have all the carriers covering those 80,000 route be off at the same time. So why is there a shortage of RCAs and PTFs that requires a MOU to have regular carriers "volunteer" to work on other routes as well as on Sundays?
