Honestly, I don't think cutting Saturdays will be as bad as some people, especially the unions, think. People and mass mailers will adjust their mailing habits and move on. The post office needs to realize that they're not that important anymore. We're no longer the only connection rural people have because we now have the internet. Personally, I see us losing more and more letter mail and gaining more parcel service. In reality, the only ones who are going to get hurt are the employees, subs especially, since they will no longer be needed for regular relief days. Many low level subs will either be laid off or just have little to no work, which would probably lead do them quitting. I would personally like to see them combine city and rural carrier crafts into one and take the best methods from each side. One good example, use the rural evaluated system instead of the city hourly system. You would save tons by not normally having to deal with OT. There would be no more fights about who's territory a neighborhood belongs to (this is an issue in a large city with massive suburban growth). I personally would like to see a crack down on improper addressing formats. I.E. people still using RR box numbers, not using apt/ste numbers, people just using Name and town in small towns, etc. This would improve how much mail is automated. Okay, so that's mainly just a pet peeve of mine. As a Rural carrier I have mixed feelings on this.

We have never had a problem with getting any paper we have ever ordered by 3:00 P.M. by the next day. So what I would like to know is, "Is this a situation I will encounter in the future or is this just a problem in other parts of the country?" We get our paper from several distributors in Florida.

I am a 20 year employe of the PO. There will not be 20,000 jobs lost. The first thing they will do is offer an early out, and you still need TE's and PTF's to fill in for vactions, sick leave, parcel delivery, Express, pickups, etc....The union is upset because it will lose some of its dues money, but you know what? to freaking bad because I tired of my dues going to support these a-holes in Obamas party...So I say go to 5 days. Then maybe I'll be able to do things with my family on Saturdays like everyone else does... Im so sick of the BS about 5 day deliver. I am a 20 year employe of the PO.
