Five-day delivery not the best economic solution: President William H. Young has released a statement in response to media reports that Postmaster General Jack Potter is seeking to curtail the Postal Service to five-day delivery. "The continued appearance of letter carriers delivering the mail to the doorstep of every home and business and bank and credit card company six days a week is absolutely essential to economic recovery." In his statement, Young makes the case for an alternative economic solution: H.R. 22. Statement | H.R. 22

Letter to Editor of Delco Times
By Jim McCullough: Branch 725 President
|
To label this individual a letter carrier would be a huge insult to the over 200,000 dedicated men and women letter carriers throughout this country who deliver the mail six days a week, 52 weeks a year. This person is not, I repeat, not a letter career. He is what the Postal Service calls a transitional employee (T.E.). The T.E. is not a full-time employee of the Postal Service. They receive no benefits and are only used until certain programs kick in.

And Wal-Mart, and Grover Norquist, and the Chamber of Commerce, and the institutional Republican Party don't want a real, secure middle class. They want a docile, subservient class of workers who are utterly dependent on the tender mercies of their employers for every meal.
