Postal workers weigh in on the possibility of five-day mail delivery

Postal workers weigh in on the possibility of five-day mail delivery - Grand Rapids News - The Latest News, Blogs, Photos & Videos – MLive.com: "A retired postal worker from Arkansas wrote: 'There are problems that need to be corrected, but that should start not on the bottom but at the top. There are too many management types running around trying to be important...It is not the cost of stamps that is driving the USPS into the poor house, but the salaries of these poorly trained managers.'
He predicted five-day delivery would most likely become a reality, but added that it likely wouldn't result in mass layoffs at the post office, because of a clause in the union contract that forbids laying off any letter carrier with more than six years' experience."
