And, from the Washington Post no less.

If only you had a clue.

The USPS has had ****-poor upper management and labor relations for
decades and decades.


It is government, why make it efficient, effective and get earnings when
you can be inefficient, just collect more taxes to cover, waste lots, be
a Dilbert like screw up and get over paid for it with impunity?

Maybe time to roll back and freeze their wages until they get efficient
enough to give them a raise.


The USPS is a highly efficient operation. You just have no understanding
of it.

You come across as a sorrowful schmuck who never held any more than
low-level lower management jobs, and you couldn't hang onto any of them.
You wish your life of failure on others, especially those still with jobs.

You do realize that UPS handles more packages per year than the post
office, and is profitable, don't you?

The USPS is profitable.
The Republican Congress wrote a law in 2006 requiring the PO to pre-fund
retirement programs like no other gov agency or private business.
The gov basically owes the USPS about $75 billion in overpayments, and
the USPS is still overpaying +$5 billion a year, only making it look
like it isn't profitable.
And like Abner said, the USPS is constitutionally mandated.
BTW, UPS is a Teamster operation, and the USPS is also unionized.
But you can always use FedEx or hire a bicycle courier if you're anti-
union.

It has the GM problem. It is a health care and pension company that
delivers packages on the side.

That's a very simple answer that is totally inaccurate for a complex
problem.
