If the Postal Service would eliminate half of the supervisor positions that are unnecessary and put a stop to all of the bonuses that are paid out, for which most are undeserved, the postal service wouldn’t have to eliminate saturday delivery. They could even slash the price of a first class stamp 3 or 4 cents which in turn would increase first class revenue.

To comment on Alan’s comment, there is more to delivering the mail than just walking a paper to you. To cut a senior carriers pay is taking away the years of continued service, hard work and dedication. To be out there when it’s 100 degrees or a foot of snow. To be at work before people are even awake yet.. To have to go through every piece of mail that comes in, sorting, putting up in the box, filling up trays, delivering packages. Mail truck have no a/c, they are rear wheel drive. Yet YOU still get your mail. Thank your mail carrier, don’t cut their pay.

I agree with you Judi. They have been dedicated with their several years of service and they don’t deserve to have their pays cut off.

I think the five day delivery window would be a good thing, especially with USPS use declining anyway. If it saves money and helps efficiency, I’m all for it.

As former APWU president William Burrus explains, ceding 6th-day delivery to private postal companies would mean the end of the U.S. Postal Service: private delivery companies would be given access to mailboxes on the 6th day–then, how could they be denied access the rest of the week? Private companies would then take the profitable business, leaving USPS to deliver only the money-losing catalogs, newspapers, and other profitless bulk mail. USPS could not survive.
