VERA on the horizon

[RFD]

Anyone hearing through the grapevine about this? I can only remember one, about 25 years ago, that pertained to rural carriers. I am curious, because of an article in FEBA that said that an early out is almost assured this year, because of the financial state of the USPS.

They have cut clerk numbers so bad in the last 15 years, that there wouldn't be much savings there. Management are "at will" employees, if I am not mistaken. They could can them without compensation.

I was reading a city carrier discussion on Reddit where they were talking about some sort of downsizing proposals.... obviously, mngt bloat would be the most logical place to cut, but it's the USPS, so there's no telling what they might do...

Are you kidding, what do you do when running a business and money is short?
...you throw some cash at the NHL for advertising.
And buy terrible electric vehicles that require you to spend millions more updating and installing electric charging stations in decades old buildings.
That's how you better your financial situation.

Don't need VERA just let us buy back sub time. Watch the place empty out listen to the whooshhhh sound
