The President pointed to the success of the US Postal Service, which has a
long-standing policy of providing opportunity without regard to
performance. Approximately 74 percent of postal employees lack job skills,
making this agency the single largest US employer of Persons of Inability.


Reminds me of one of my cousins... he worked at a letter carrier. Ok. Better
than hanging out in bars. Then, the PO offered him a promotion. He turned it
down because he thought it might be too stressful. He's still a carrier 10
years later. Now that's ambition and drive... er, walk mostly.

There's nothing wrong with being a letter carrier. Hell, a couple of
posters here couldn't qualify for it.

I know what you mean. I have had uncles who worked for the railroads in
Florida turn down promotions to supervisor and substantial pay raises
because they didn't want to give up their union membership.

Hehe. He forgot about the ass-kissing and politics that goes with the
12 hours. Not always of course, but you have to know what you're
getting into. I've seen plenty sell their soul.

My dad turned down several promotions to supervisor. He knew that the
union had a habit of taking the real hard workers, making them supers,
then finding a way push them out the door...

Honesty and hard work are not words found in the union handbook.

That's pretty despicable. It certainly isn't true and anyone with half a
sense of right and wrong would know that.
