I am a letter carrier and I can tell you this will not end well for the USPS. Our union and CBA will not only get him all the money he will have lost in not working but will be put back to work like nothing happened. This is exactly what we are instructed to do. If you see something, say something. In this case they might argue he went to the press but honestly his superiors were the ones doing this so he could argue he felt like they would retaliate... kinda like they fucking just did to him. Nearly supporting his argument.
