I saw this up close and personal, as I have a brother who was president of a local postal union bargaining unit for many years. The stuff that was espoused in the name of the "union" would make most people ill. They will also try to persuade you that the USPS is an indispensable part of the government. Actually, the best thing would be to privatize, and let the private company charge bulk mail rates that make sense.
