12/5/17 OPA-LOCKA, FLA. (WSVN) – The busiest mailing season of the year has begun, as U.S. Postal Service employees in Opa-locka prepare thousands of packages for shipment.
USPS’ Royal Palm Processing and Distribution Center gave 7News a tour of the facility, where workers were seen sorting through packages. “Daily volume we have 500,000 to 750,000 packages processed in 24 hours,” said USPS spokesperson Debra Fetterly. “In the two weeks before Christmas, we will reach at least a million if not more.”
However, workers said the holiday preparation began long before December arrived.
“We are geared up for the holiday,” said Fetterly. “We start planning during July. We have meetings, determine how much staffing we’re going to need, the anticipated volume over last year. This year, we’re anticipating a 10 percent increase in packages

Just got to get those workers to show up, when they bang in, the packages just sit there. SHOCKER
Our plant is getting 16 hours/7 days a week. people are
starting to stress out. People are starting to look like zombies.
Management is freaking out because the mail is still not getting
out on time. Casuals come in and quit after one night because
of the treatment by mismanagement that they dish out nightly.
Employees are calling 911 on each other. Employees ae being
walked out nightly. What a joke. Mismanagement at its best.
The plant manager is a spawn of Satan. Yells and screams at
everyone. Gets upset when people go to restrooms, has underlings
who have been fired in the past. One SDO is called the Nazi. One
SDO couldn’t pass the PO test until they let him take it home.
Safety went out the window years ago. They Look the other way and
they can say they weren’t aware. What a bunch of losers. Get out
while you can.
yeah, so?
What a bunch of crap. As usual from any eas. Facilities are woefully understaffed throughout the country.
Wouldn’t it be something if these clowns, for even just one minute, could say something that wasn’t a lie ?
