So sad to hear that employees steal .A good job with great benefits..A good salary that you can’t beat in private industry ,doing the same job. Union protection. As a retired Postal Service employee,with 37 years of service, i have seen this many times. From management ,to craft employees.What get’s into their heads? Risking their career for a few dollars .They will regret their bad choices for the rest of their lives.
