Close the unproductive expensive plants, get rid of all the employees who work there immediately, save our PO and the rest of ours jobs. You have to sacrifice the few to protect the majority.

The Repubs and the Bush administration has made it clear by this part of their plan for postal reform, "Administration officials recently outlined their position in a memo directed at legislation championed by the House Government Reform and Senate Governmental Affairs committees. The memo expressed concerns that the bills are too expensive and do not do enough to reduce labor costs."

Reduce "LABOR COSTS", which means reduce wages and benefits which means get rid of the collective bargaining system the postal service has right now. Yes, say goodbye to the decent wages and benefits you enjoy now thanks to GW Bush and the Repubs. Why he has a mandate now to do anything he wants, so he says. And for all of you fools who work for the postal service and had voted for him, you get what you deserve. For the rest of us who did not vote for him, get ready for the big screw job!

Yes, we are all overpaid according to the Repubs, and we have a union.. Time to break up the party!

The assholes who elected the GEORGIE WALKIE party, should be the first to go as they could have voted for the other person. The BIG BUSINESS people got what they wanted by lies & deceit as they have done for years. They feel that we have to go backwards as that is what they want, and will do anything to get it. We postal unions will watch these ASSHOLES, and show them what is truly correct. They will have to make a decision that will put them one side of the coin. We will have to watch the Congress very carefully, and see what they truly do with the postal reform that passed the committees in both houses passed. LET'S WAIT & SEE.

It's to bad the socialist party (democratic party) cant put out a decent candidate for President! When will the democratic party learn, that a northeast liberal, who promises to raise taxes, NEVER WINS! In 2008, the democratic party will once again, nominate a NORTHEASTERN LIBERAL named HILLARY, and once again they will lose! What a bunch of dopes!

There is NOTHING fundamentally wrong with the policies of the Democrats, they want better wages, health insurance coverage for all, less job excessing, balancing the budget. It is the stupidity of the majority who vote for a party like the GOP on dividing issues like abortion, gun control, gay rights without any regards to whom the GOP represents, the wealthy and big business.

You cannot blame the Democrats, you can blame the people like Karl Rove who manage to turn opinions on dividing issues instead of the real ones that all working class Americans should have in mind. The game of the GOP is to smear any competition to them by labels, dividing issues, and scaring people on terrorism and tax hikes and it works. Most Americans buy into the BS spawn by them, so they are able to have a GW Bush with the worse record on job creation by any active President in the last 75 years who got us into Iraq on lies without any real plan in getting us out.

It is simple, until most Americans can look beyond labels and stereotypes put out by the GOP in elections, and vote on substance and policies in regards to the majority of the working class and common people issues in this country, you will get a GOP into office everytime!

Walmart would not want to buy the Post Office , if they
did that little yellow price cutter would not have
anything to do, he would get fat and lazy and have a sorry attitude like most of the Postal workforce.

Here we go again! The socialists union gambled all their
marvels on the worthless socialiats democrats and they
lost. They lost in 2000, 2002 and now 2004. How many loses will it take before the socialits union learn
that they and their socialits democrats' policies are
being rejected left and right by the American people. The union wasted a tremendous amount of monies they took
from union members, even tho, 40 percent of the union
members vote Republicans and when they lose and will
continue to lose, then they will fear losing their jobs.
The President is correct in thinking that the present
postal workers are just a bunch of fat and lazy bums that are afraid to compete. If you allowed a worthless
work force and then you would add an even worthless
management bunch that can't even manage themselves out
a paper sack, then you have a worthless government run
company that continues to embarrass itself and the few
good employees they still have. Postal Service reforms
into a private company is way overdue. The private sector of U.S. companies, free from government intere-
ference is the only way to go in a free market such as
the one we have for the past 200 years. It is time to
change the way we do things in the Postal Service and
maybe we can save our jobs.

You should keep in mind, the purpose of the Republican party is to provide business with cheap labor. Of course they can't get elected on a platform of cheap labor so they come up with bogus issues, things like abortion, gay rights, "family values", etc. Some working people are so numb in the head they fall for this and vote Republican. They live to regret it.

Hey 11:30am response.. Who the hell do you think you are to judge all postal workers lazy? What the hell do you do for a living jackass? Why don't you get you lazy ass out there on a route and carry some mail on a hot day over 9o degrees or in extreme cold conditions. Why don't you get your lazy ass woke up 2:30am in the morning everyday to distribute mail, pick up sacks of mail, stand all day at a window dealing with asses like yourself.

PLEASE STEP BACK AND LOOK AT THE PICTURE AS A WHOLE.

AS A BOX DELIVERY CONTRACTOR WHO IS BINDED BY A CONTRACT WORK WITH OTHER CONTRACTORS WHO KISSES THE SUPERVISORS ASS SO THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THIER CONTRACT BY USING VEHICLES THAT ARE NOT THE REQUIRED CUBES.

( FOR INSTANCE A CONTRACTOR WHO IS REQUIRED TO HAVE 90 CUBES IS USING A 47 CUBE VEHICLE AND THERE IS AT LEAST 5 CONTRACTORS DOING THIS)

THEREFORE THEY GET EXTRA TRIPS MEANING THIS IS COSTING THE USPS LOTS OF MONEY BECAUSE THE SUPERVISOR IS FAILING TO ENFORCE THE REQUIRED VEHICLE/ THE CONTRACT AS IT IS WRITTEN.

YET NOBODY (THE POST OFFICE NOR THE CONTRACTING OFFICE) WILL ENFORCE THE CONTRACTS.

THIS IS JUST ONE POST OFFICE THAT I WORK AT HOW MANY MORE POST OFFICES ACROSS THE COUNTY ARE DOING THE SAME????

DO THE MATH!!!!!!!!!

I SPOKE UP SEVERAL TIMES AND TOLD TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS TO MAKE SURE I HAVE THE REQUIRED CUBES ON MY CONTRACT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS????????

I THINK THIS IS UNFAIR AND WRONG.

THIS IS COSTING THE USPS ALOT OF MONEY THEREFORE THE USPS DESERVES TO LOOSE MONEY SO THAT THESE CONTRACTORS BENIFIT !!!!!!!!!

HEY THE USPS CAN JUST RAISE THE PRICE OF STAMPS TO JUSITFY THE COST.

You liberals are useless. I can't believe there are still those individuals that buy the hype that the Rep is for the rich and the libs are for the poor and down trodden. There are more millionaire in the dem elite then the entire republican party. The fact is that the dems are for given our country away and endless PC while the republicans are for personal responsibility. Stop being a worthless lazy dem and work for a living.

Why can't the democratic party nominate someone who is not so socially radical?
I cannot and will not vote for someone who supports abortion on demand and gay rights, for the sole purpose of making a living. The bible says "what will it profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul"? Money isn't everything. It's temporal just like our lives. Hope some of you can understand this.

8:29: Fine and dandy. Spout off all you want to. Who gives YOU the right to play God and say that a woman cannot have an abortion?????

It's HER body, not YOURS. You and the rest of those asshole religious wannabeGods can go straight to.......and stay put. China would benefit you being in their country.
