Employees with the downtown Conroe post office allege U.S. mail delivery at the W. Dallas location is deliberately being delayed, with some mail left to accumulate in undelivered six-foot piles at the facility for times as long as a week.

“We’ve been told — ordered, since last Tuesday to curtail delivery of the mail, because they want carriers to be back in (under) eight hours,” an employee with the downtown Conroe post office said under condition of anonymity.

Management at the downtown Conroe post office have been, allegedly, pressuring workers to cut mail delivery hours, threatening disciplinary action or even termination, all ultimately at the expense of mail service, the postal employee said.

Mail delivered in the past on extended delivery routes, which regularly can take an expedited mail carrier as long as 10 hours — known as “over standard” in postal service terminology — sometimes sits undelivered for added days at a time.
