I guess I'm the only member on GAW who will take up the mantle for the USPS, as a former employee. I understand the long standing joke about how postal employees are one step above DMV employees, yet my experiences within the postal service are completely opposite of what is portrayed here. Maybe it's because of where I was employeed, middle of America, and haven't actually seen how business is conducted on the coasts.
I do know that if you want a decent job, the postal service will hire you in a heartbeat. Good pay, great benefits, and a decent retirement if you start your career early in your life. Yes the unions suck big green donkey weenies, but that is something you've gotta deal with and understand how they operate. I was very fortunate to be in the clerk union and had a local president who was a mean #itch that hated the postal service.
As for the illegals driving, I never saw an illegal. The truck drivers were usually fat hillbilly rednecks who definitely were not Somalis. Maybe on the coasts there is more of illegals working than in the heartland. As a side note, in all the offices I worked , there was never any minorities. Only whites somehow got the jobs. But that was indicative of where I was located.
Where I moved to, I have not seen illegals who couldn't speak English. I am seeing personal vehicle with a sign instead of their usual little truck driving on the wrong side.
I used to live in Portland Oregon and Washington and the description of going into the post office and those people couldn't speak English were frequent there on the west coast.
