July 5, 205 USPS mail carriers are getting a “panic button”
The unofficial U.S. postal creed says neither rain, nor sleet, nor heat, nor gloom of night will keep carriers from their rounds. Thieves and vicious dogs, however, may be another matter. So the Post Office is delivering a solution.

In broad daylight in Washington, D.C., last year, two armed men attacked a U.S. letter carrier. He was beaten, bound and robbed.
The Postal Service is shipping all 230,000 carriers new mobile devices with a soon-to-be-activated “panic button.” GPS transmits their location to their supervisors every minute.

sup’s are to lazy to learn how to use this , and won’t want to stop playing games on the laptops, to pay attention. want to bet they don’t answer the panic button, just like they don’t p/u the phone when u call from the street.
What a joke,they better not take too long a break!
Appears the first 3 entries nail this jelly right to the tree !
I am not a carrier but you can bet your bottom dollar that this has NOTHing to do with carrier safety. They do not care about anyones safety except their own.
the hilarious part of having these new scanners, is how we have been told countless times how we are being watched, but never once were we told anything about this panic button. obviously stupervisors could care less about our safety.
Nothing like reading the same thing twice. Nothing like reading the same thing twice.
Use incompetent OIG in pairs to monitor-harass carriers. Use them in pairs to collaborate stories.
Now the Postal Service will eventually follow the carriers with predator drones. If the carrier is a bad employee, the bad boy will get a Hell Fire missile. Instant discipline! Overtime will go way down, everything will be much better. Productivity will go way up. Happy days are upon us!
U mean replace the Carriers with drones.
