You were the one who stated my uncle would have been able to take a
promotion to supervisor and remain in the union.

Mike, a friend of mine, was a postman. I asked Mike one day, when there was
a lot of postal workers going postal why they did it. He said it's like no
other job. When you're finished with THIS pile of mail, do THAT pile. You
never catch up.

Supervisors were usually not selected, but only lazy employees who chose to
take the job because no one else wanted it. Supervisors were assigned or
chose the task of pushing workers harder for increased productivity, hence,
they were the objects of the occasional assaults. Particularly when the
employees under them knew that they couldn't do half the work another worker
could do, and were only supervisor because no one else wanted the job. And
that's saying nothing about your uncle, his abilities, or his motives. Just
what a long time postal employee told me.

The USPS has possibly the worst middle management of any large
industrial company.
