USPS purposes NO saturday delivery

flyingillini · 03-29-10, 03:31 PM

Terrible news. I receive and send out a lot of packages. If it happens, I will just have to use Fedex and UPS. Either way things will still be received and sent regardless of the company.

G's pks · 03-29-10, 03:35 PM

this was announced weeks ago...watch the news a little more.

Boner_18 · 03-29-10, 03:37 PM

Yeah this has been in the works for some time. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets shot down again though. We really need to cut back/get rid of the post office, thing is a serious waste of space/money/time.

SportsTerminator · 03-29-10, 03:37 PM

This has it's pro's and cons. Pro's USPS will save 3 billion but really who does that help lol. Workers only have to work M-F and have the weekends free, their salary is pretty decent. Cons that's 1 less day the people receive our mail. And some don't like waiting another extra day especially those who have Netflix. ;D Some workiers might need that extra day moneywise but I doubt it. And the worst 40,000 jobs LOST...

proposes?

BatemanPatrickl · 03-29-10, 03:38 PM

40,000 jobs? Those people won't find work for years.

flyingillini · 03-29-10, 03:43 PM

I usually receive my weekly Netfix on Saturday's. God Bless Netflix!

bruceBRUCEbruce · 03-29-10, 03:46 PM

they should cut back more-delivering only 3 days a week would be best.

It's being offically purposed tomorrow

tltaylor89 · 03-29-10, 03:48 PM

They will make it up by selling those oversiEd shipping supplies

seaborneq · 03-29-10, 04:01 PM

Hurry up and do it already. Who needs Saturday delivery anyway? If you really want mail that bad on Saturday pay a steep premium like UPS charges. You find out you really didn't need it that bad and wait until Monday.

get ready this is exactly what happens when the govt. runs things, health care will do the exact same thing

The government has always run the post office you retard. Thus the name "United States Postal Service" .

Go away.

One less day for the workers to go "postal". My friend, who works for the USPS, and I were talking recently and even he said that they are over paid for what they do considering no education is necessary to work there. Great benefits, pension and health insurance for life. I am happy to hear this, our country needs to start acting like the broke fukks we are and stop living off the hard work and sacrifices of our ancestors.

jjgold · 03-29-10, 05:04 PM

No use for mail anymore on Saturdays due to INTERNET communications

Good move

Boner_18 · 03-29-10, 05:06 PM

40,000 additional unemployed represents an increase in the unemployment rate from 10% to 10.129% not a giant increase. These people are overpayed and underworked. Cut services please and cut my taxes while you are at it.

Good post, completely agree with you.

Only the carriers and stations will have off the weekends. I work for the PO at the P&DC in Philly. We have people working 24-7.

The problem is all these old ass fuks that don't know when to retire. So many jobs are being held by people that don't need them. I'm talking about 65-85 years old. Fukers are losing money by still working.The PO just offered an early retirement package late last year of $15,000. There should be more coming and hopefully these old heads will jump on it.

Don't feel sorry for these overpaid bastards selling packing tape should be a crime

I agree, packing tape is a fundamental right held by all americans. It should be available free of charge at all post offices, police stations and town halls.

take it one step further and privatize everything. private schools bend over and rape public schooling any day of the year, same with fedex/ups to usps.

statnerds · 03-29-10, 09:20 PM

Dear SBR morons:

FED-EX delivers the majority of the USPS Express Mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and yes, the USPS sucks that bad. so when you see them running ads about their priority shipping, they outsource that shit to Fedex but take credit for the only portion of their operation that isn't shit...

I wouldn't single out Postal Service Workers. Almost all Govt employees are overpaid...Every time we say yes to Govt., we are saying no to accountability and hard work. And yes to throwing money away on the ridiculous benefits Govt. workers receive...

The one thing I can say about the Postal Service is that at least this is something we all benefit from, unlike certain dpartments that only help those with a hand out.

They should raise the prices on all the companies that send me junk mail every Tuesday and Wednesday.
