Glad they're staying. Could only imagine how bad the alternative would have been.

Especially since according to some, businesses are abusing the USPS...by using them as their "delivery boys." :1rotfl:


As if the US Postal Service is supposed to be doing something else...besides delivering letters & packages? :ohdear:

My carrier told me that some people were already let go and her contract expires in 2020. It probably varies from carrier to carrier as to when their contract expires.

It looks like it maybe incremental discharges but time will tell if USPS changes their decision.

Everyone knows USPS could be run more efficiently.

Mine are staying for at least two years.Once that contract expires??????? They are both GREAT The ASLAND station ROCKS!!!!

Good news! So happy for Brittney

My understanding is that 6 will be gone as of tomorrow. Another 15 that we’re told they were leaving effective the 31st have now been told to stay for now but contracts will not be renewed. The rest have no idea what will happen once their contract expires. So, limbo it is for everyone.

One postal worker I talked to asked that we call, write, email USPS to not change something that works so well.

Saw the contract workers at Charlotte mail boxes today and they are STAYING!!! :) So happy for them!

In the meantime, why aren’t they encouraged to take the Civil Service test. It seems like it would be better for them as they would get benefits, paid vacations and not have to use their own vehicles.

Unless they are veterans and qualify for the 10 point preference, it will be very hard for them to get hired by USPS... regardless of their test scores.

Or at least it used to be that way.

Not to mention, that there is most likely a very long list of those who want to work at the Post Office (especially in an area like this and their existing location)...already ahead of them.

Plus the fact that I haven't seen where the USPS has said that they will hire people here...to supplant the existing contractors when they go away. :shrug:

The USPS is telling contractors to take the Civil Service test. IF they pass it and IF they get hired, they will have to go through training. However, there is no guarantee that they will get hired. It would depend where they are on the list as to when they would be hired. It could take years.
