Mailman pede here...
The “changes” that Dejoy implemented were aimed at cutting overtime (as this is where our losses come from). He implemented a plan that carriers hit the street 30 minutes after clocking in (as to not wait on late arriving parcel trucks or late arriving mail). The carriers would then put that mail into their case to be delivered the next day when they got back to the office.
He also implemented an 8 hour per shift only rule at the processing plants. Run as much mail as you could in 8 hours and then leave the rest for the next day. This is what the Dems were calling “delayed mail.”
Those are the policies he’s suspending for now. They didn’t have any affect on mail-in ballots before and they won’t now. It was all much ado about nothing.
I had people stopping me on the street Friday and Saturday asking me questions about Trump and the mail. ALL of them were repeating what they heard on their MSM channel of choice. People really believe what they hear on the news. It’s gospel to them. They can’t be bothered to do a simple search for the truth.
So, this protest is most likely organic. I’m seeing it firsthand while I work.
Sounds like he did you a favor. Time to reevaluate your vetting process and discover why you were able to choose such a man. I encourage you to listen to Stefan Molyneux on Freedomainradio. Listen to his call in shows. It just might change your life for the better.
Her husband was arrested too, though. Actually, weren’t they originally there just to arrest the husband?
Millie and her mama appear to be a little trashy/hillbilly. That’s ok, though, I guess.
It’s true. I deliver government checks almost every day. There aren’t a lot of them, but we still deliver some paper checks.
And they’re blaming the “Trump appointee” PMG.
They did. Everyone was caught off guard by the endorsement announcement, but they’d endorse a giant douche if it had a (D) next to it.
Simple answer. The public schools pounded into children’s heads that they must go to college. Couple that with baby’ing the fuck out of them and you have a bunch of people who don’t want to work or feel like they’re above blue collar work. So, you’re now selecting from a smaller pool of applicants.
Our best new employees are always 35+ years old with a family.
I’d kill to be privatized and paid for performance and not seniority.
As the mail volume has dropped over the last decade machines have been scrapped/consolidated. Also, there was a failed experiment that cost billions (lol government) where they commissioned sorting machines to be designed and built that sort flats (magazines, etc). Those machines were supposed to sort and put in order the flats like the regular machines do for the regular sized mail (letters). Well, they fucking don’t work. It was a disaster. They’re phasing those machines out too.
Search: FSS machines to find news on that
You’re talking about worker error, not infrastructure. They’re not the same thing.
It used to be that you had to score perfect on the postal exam AND be a veteran to even be considered for the job. Now, they don’t even administer an exam. You apply and you’re in. Most of the new employees are lazy tards, yes.
He didn’t ban overtime LOL! Most carriers in major cities don’t even get a day off right now. They’re working 12-14 hours a day. WHY? Because the post office handed out free 2 week vacations if you even TESTED for the WUFLU. Not tested positive, just tested period. Of course a lot of the immoral commie carriers are taking advantage of this.
I’m a mailman.
We definitely could do it. We do it every week. It’s really not an issue of could. We can. There’s no question. And we don’t need extra money. Of course there’s going to be carriers who throw away ballots, though. Or steal them. They see a Trump sign in the yard and the “disappear” that ballot. It WILL happen.
The carriers union (NALC) just endorsed Biden on Friday. You should see their Facebook group...it’s a commie hellhole. A lot of those fucks are radical and will stop at nothing to sway this election.
I’m a mailman in Ohio. Let me clear some stuff up for you pedes...
When talking about mass mail-in voting; the problem isn’t a logistical one. We deliver door to door items every week and sometimes multiple times a week along with our regular load of mail. That’s not a problem. We can deliver the ballots and we can pick them up. Simple. The left is trying to get the public to think that Trump is trying to stop of from regular distribution and collection. That’s nonsense. That’s just a distraction. We do it everyday. It’s literally no problem at all.
The REAL issue arises with the ballots themselves and the verification and integrity. Mass mail-in ballots in the hood would be given to or collected by a central Democrat head and they’d be filled out accordingly. Ballots from people that never vote, are dead, cats, etc. And if you didn’t know; most of these “affordable housing” units cram a dozen people with 8 different last names in them. That’s a thing. That’s how they live. Never worked a day in their life, either (they don’t have to).
So, in Ohio, for instance; Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo, Akron all go blue (that’s the norm), BUT they’d now go bluer and this flipping the entire state blue. They’d go from a 33% participation to a 50%. Biden is your President in this scenario. Trump knows this.
So, please frame your argument correctly. Do not talk about trucks and sorting machines. That’s what they want you to do. We’re fine there. We could do it no problem.
Well, the clerks go through those tubs now to check for that. That mail is called UBBM (undeliverable bulk business mail) or junk mail in layman’s terms.
Yes, some times good mail gets thrown in there....accidentally or on purpose. I’ve witnessed both.
