Six figures for a mailman?? Unions killed the post office. Get rid of it. Privatisation is needed.

100k for a 60 hour workweek is not big bucks. Not these days.

A local PO here is looking for a Postmaster.
Starting pay: $14.81 an hour. McDonalds pays more.

We need help and the post office pays well ............. To assort mail in ballots?

High salaries in these jobs mean you’re doing the job of 2 people.
Salary gets raised by an outside authority and people get fired for fuminancial reasons

That’s all.

I used to work at USPS and I know a few people who still work there. If you’re on the over time list making 100k isnt that strange. If you want to work Sundays you can bring in 140k just because you end up doing an entire day at double pay.

Mail carriers are being worked to death. The union is useless. USPS forces mail carriers to work close to 80 hours/week. They earn a ton of money for overtime, but at what cost? That’s why new people quit soon after they get a PO job now.

[ridesthemiles]

A whole 23 hours of overtime??? In a year???

I used to do that in one week....

OR averaging 23 hour of OT a week???

I don't know if I could work for affirmative action hired minorities and females that are in positions of authority because of their sex or skin colour.

My son was hired. He is leaving out it can take 10 yrs to become full time. Meanwhile, no health benefits, paid holidays, and you will be lucky to get 40hrs a week

I have stopped virtually everything going through usps. I mainly get ads and junk mail.

Spot on a government union delivering ballots what could wrong.
JFK let public service unionize for a reason teachers wink.

[Big Giant Head]

Unions killed the Post Office? After Bush era rules about pre-funding retirement accounts out to 75 years finally went away, the USPS is back to showing a profit.

It CAN pay well, but one must bust their asses for it. If you have one of those slack jobs indoors, you don’t make the same money.

[MayflowerMadam]

And then there’s the Soros money for the USPS people helping election fraud.

[Sequoyah101]

Absolutely. Get rid of it but dream on. Not going to happen.

I sure dont need mail 6 days a week either. 3 would be more than enough. Could save billions.

USPO is a relic that needs to go..

Our local postmaster said just yesterday they can’t hire enough people because they can’t pass the drug tests.
