My mother works as a carrier and she's upset about this too. I believe she's been to maybe one or two Union meetings since she started 21 years ago, and has been to 3 this month... Hey Bob, did all of your mail routes get mixed up too this month?? Mom said that hers is being changed and that it's not just the local post offices, it's nation wide. Do you know anything about this? Yes, they changed around our routes recently too. And they snorked that up too! They added three streets to the longest route in the office. Yea my mom was kinda upset about it. She has had the same route for years and years and now she has to move around and miss some of her favorite stops. But there is this shoe place that gets her post office money (I really can't remember the deal right now) and they got like 1200+ out of it this past year. Well they will move her whole route around but make sure she has to keep going there because the business threatened to stop using that post office if she is moved. Kinda messed up that she (and all the carriers) do so much and then get tossed around like that.

I don't get that much mail, but I agree this is stupid.

Also they are raising the price of stamps again so not only is it one less day of mail service, it's costing you more. They just (like, a week ago) increased the rates for priority & express mail. They have to plan and announce any rate changes far in advance - I don't know of any more rate hikes soon, so (maybe) we're safe for now...
