Letter Carriers Say USPS Pressured Them to Deliver Mail Despite Coronavirus Symptoms — and Often Without Hand Sanitizer

Posted on by postal

Experts say coronavirus could be transferred through mail delivery by sick employees. Postal workers say USPS isn’t doing much to keep them or their customers safe

Postal carriers say they are being pressed into service against medical advice and with insufficient protection against the novel coronavirus. Two mail carriers told ProPublica they have been pressured to stay on their routes despite showing symptoms of COVID-19.

One of the workers, in Denver, says he had to keep delivering mail for days while he awaited a doctor’s note. He says the route includes many locations where there are elderly and immunocompromised residents.

In the other case, a letter carrier in the Northwest says he is still delivering mail even after a nurse told him he likely has coronavirus.

  1. The P.M.G. has allowed more Postal Big Time Operators to work at home. They will be subject to discipline if the fail to scan their work, deviate from their project, work in an unsafe practice, or commit unauthorized overtime. Management is, for once, going to be treated just like the low life employees are every day.

  2. Recognize modern day reconstruction all actions or inactions premeditated and orchestrated to reach the national goal reduce government (we the people) and reduce government spending (lawlessness/subterfuge / lie, delay, and deny whilst you die).

  3. I notice that Postal Big Shot management kings can work at home. Their safety is most important. I trust that the hard working big time operators don’t take any unauthorized breaks and that they scan their work with the scanner they are required to use and carry around. I hope they don’t forget to hit the time clock, no overtime allowed. Don’t use any unauthorized overtime.

  4. I pray this is not true. If we he virus stays on the mail then you r responsible for possibly killing someone like me with a lung disease. Shame on you all

    • I retired almost 15 yrs ago. When we didn’t like something we were told to do, and didn’t think it was right, management usually told us we were free to quit. There were 10 people waiting to be hired and take our place.

  5. How do certain carriers let management steamroll over them everyday? Grow a set will ya!

  6. Pretty soon, no one should have to worry, with all the business’s closing their doors, the mail should drop dramatically, parcels are a different story

  7. I would utterly shock me to find that Postal Management puts numbers before the safety of workers or the public. Surely, these carriers are mistaken.
