PASCO, Wash. — Recent cutbacks and changes at our local Post Offices mean it’s taking longer for your mail to get to your home — and also out of town. An influx of Christmas cards and packages will only add a new burden. KEPR talked with the President from the local Postal Workers Union and USPS to get both sides about how your mail is being impacted in new ways.
“It’s written in the law that we provide universal, low cost service to every American citizen,” said John Michael Wald, Local American Postal Workers Union President.
But he says that’s exactly what you’re not seeing with mail service in the Tri-Cities right now. Mail processing moved from Pasco to Spokane in July. Since then, bundles of issues have arrived.
“Carriers are out on the street later and later because they have to wait longer and longer to get their mail before they can hit the street, we’ve got carriers out on the streets until 8PM some nights,” he said.
Next-day delivery has turned into three-day delivery. Some is even taking a week.
Overnight mail taking 3 days after Pasco changes
Postal mismanagement strikes again!! Who didn’t see this coming??
The public should be grateful that they receive mail at all.
Go slow= more dough
Piss on the public, we can do whatever we want to do, we have no accountability nor any responsiblity to anyone. Now shutup and gimme my bonus.
Carriers delivering junk mail in darkness. Working 6 days week. Overtime. Safety no concern by management.
Dictator management at all level. Supervisors come and go as most are frustrated as they have no knowledge
as to city delivery.
Hey, at least we’re going to raise the price for this great service too !
Postal mgmt = liars and thieves, at all levels.
