From the National Association of Letter Carriers:
On Sunday, letter carriers like Princeton, NJ Branch 268 member Josef Thompson began delivering Parcel Select packages in more than 900 ZIP codes nationwide as part of a test involving Sunday delivery of packages from a major online retailer. There is unlimited potential for growth in Sunday and same-day package delivery, which increases revenue for the Postal Service while providing more services to the American people. NALC has been involved in and fully supports this effort, and we will continue to work with the Postal Service to grow this business in the future.
Let me get this straight; we’re so broke, we need to eliminate Saturday delivery……………but it’s ok to pay Sunday Premium pay………….
Wonder what mgmt. slug is getting a nice, fat kickback from this scheme.
