USPS perky benefits
"...if you are tired of paying high health-insurance premiums and sick about increases coming next year, here's a tip: Join the service.
The U.S. Postal Service, that is.
Although the USPS is losing money, handling fewer letters (can you say e-mail and Twitter?) and trying to get thousands of workers to take early retirement, it continues to pay a much larger chunk of its employee health premiums than does the Justice Department, General Services Administration or most other federal agencies.
At a time when health premiums and medical costs are soaring — despite deflation in the general economy — having a good, affordable health plan is the perk de jour. And the Postal Service is once again leading the way."
