See all 51 Comments1) We were recently given a service talk mentioning that the USPS is installing GPS units (TRACKING, not navigation) in all letter carrier vehicles. Our right hand drive vehicles are over 20 years old. We have vehicles that need repairs. USPS says that the move is to determine fuel usage and for safety. WAIT a minute! We're given scanners in which we have to scan up to 9 bar codes per day TELLING management EXACTLY where we are at any given point of the day.
2) I just found out today that the plant will be implementing a "green tag" program. If a tray of SORTED mail from the plant has a green tag, that carrier has to verify (check every single piece) in that tray and pull out all misorted mail (which we do on the street during delivery) and it has to be manually sorted by our clerks BEFORE we leave out on the street. Verifying a tray can take up to 20 minutes (can be up to nearly 500 pieces in one tray). This is a WASTE of time and money because now every carrier has to be delayed because of this "idea." Instead of the plant getting the mail sorted correctly (they can actually point out where the mistakes are, but don't fix them), they dump the work on us letter carriers as if we don't have enough to do.
USPS management has done everything to eliminate service. It's the letter carriers, clerks, and mail handlers who are trying to keep service.

We think he was sending us a "letter" from the "big post office in the sky" as he used to call his version of heaven when he was alive. Andy delivered the message.
Thanks, Poppy. We miss you, too.
