Postal Letter

Should the Congress let the Postal office layoff all those workers?

Should the congress let the postal office layoff 120,000 postal workers and violate there agreement with the unions? I think they should not because that would just add to the unemployment rate and it is not right for them to void a contract anytime a company has financial issues when i have issues congress does not void my contract and let me off. What about all the bad loans people got via predatory lending, those people should have gotten a free house and congress should have voided there contracts for all Americans who have venerable rate loans

1. Do you have any idea how many things are wrong with your statement? First of all, if the Postal Service needs to lay people off and cut dead weight in order to get back on track then so be it. If any other business was in that shape they would have to do just that. The labor unions need to wise up. The "deals" they get for workers are just great IF the economy and the company can handle it. Now the Postal Service claims it is not a government service rather a private industry. They get billions of subsidy dollars from the government and they still are failing. Why do you suppose that is? Are you suggesting that a government that is BROKE borrow MORE money from China to keep subsidizing yet another failing business? Cmon, use your head. UPS and Fed EX are doing just fine.
2. Yes. The Postal office doesn't get money from our taxes. Furthermore, the Postmaster was making almost $1 million a year. They should have been cut his salary.
