USPS update

I received a memo today that stated USPS will be cutting 18,000 management jobs. We will also be closing many branches--I can't remember how many. Keep these employees in your thoughts and prayers because these are all people with degrees and they're probably the main bread winners for their families. Props to my union--the National Rural Letter Carrier's Association--for maintaining a contract that specifies no carriers will be laid off. We have been offered early retirement and many of us have had our hours cut back. It sucks, but at least we've downsized incrementally as the situation demanded so that we don't lose so much we need a bailout or something. (Don't forget--we're not subsidized.) Support a responsible company and mail something this week.
