free? How much to they have to pay for health insurance? They are asking us to pay for their retirement fund, so I think I have the right to know if they offer too much to their employees.How much do u.s. postal employees have to pay into their retirement? Or do they receive their pension for?
I LOVE the first answerer who says the Postal Service isn't taxpayer funded. LOL! They lose $8 BILLION dollars a year! If they were a business, they would be OUT OF BUSINESS!!! So, you tell me, WHO foots the bill for the $8 BILLION in losses?!?!?!?!?!
OF COURSE they are tax payer funded! And what is more, the Postal Service has a DIFFERENT union agreement than other federal employees and agencies! It's a much cusher deal!
But with all of that said, federal employees do NOT get ANYTHING like what you hear with some of these state governments. TRUST ME on that one!!!
But if you really want to research it, here's a site:

The postal service is racist against white people. Look at their race statistics for Chicago. White people need affirmative action under Obama.How much do u.s. postal employees have to pay into their retirement? Or do they receive their pension for?
That is for people who worked for the post office when it was a government agency. Current employees only get 401K and social security. Try to stay current on things.
Yeah, mailmen are all millionaires. Maybe you better look at your congressmen.How much do u.s. postal employees have to pay into their retirement? Or do they receive their pension for?
The Postal Service isn't taxpayer funded. Check it out.
They get $10K for each stamp they lick

Help on lousy USPS postal service and mailmen?
I mailed rather expensive Prada boots by USPS Priority mail with confirmation tracking No. but without insurance.
My problem is tracking No. shows that it's been delivered but in truth it never was delivered.
Recipient went to the post office and spoke with a post master re undelivered package but was told that there is nothing he can do because the package is not insured and the mailman who supposedly delivered a package is on vacation and will not be returning until 2010.
Anyone knows what steps I should take?
ThanksHelp on lousy USPS postal service and mailmen?
I am sorry to hear about this, but it does not surprise me that the UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE is unreliable. Next time, use UPS or FEDEX. The USPS believes it does not have to answer to anyone, and can continue to rack up ridiculous debt. Always insure expensive items, or at least ask for a required signature.

Is the U.S. Postal Service THIS slow? Please help?
I am very sad and upset.
I sent my 11 year old son, who is living in Columbus, OH ...2 big boxes of Christmas gifts LAST MONDAY. I sent them 'priority' but was not offered a way to track the packages by having them signed for. Maybe it was the long lines but I don't recall being offered or mentioning getting insurance on it.
My ex told me that the postman didn't see the packages and wouldn't have left them in his door, he would've taken them back to the post office.
I called my post office who called theirs and said it shouldv'e been there. It's been 1 week and he still didn't get his gifts. There were some very sentimental things in the box and I am very nervous!
I am I trippin'? Anyone else have any probs shipping anything?Is the U.S. Postal Service THIS slow? Please help?
Along with sending it priority mail, did you put a delivery confirmation scan on it?
Based on what you just wrote, no insurance or delivery confirmation was placed on your packages.
I've sent packages back on Saturday 12/20 and it wasn't delivered till the 27th. An entire week. I have seen packages being misrouted just as well.
Give it a few more days and see if it shows up. I would say AFTER New Years. If not, go back to your post office with the receipt they gave you and file a missing package form.
Hope it'll turn out for your son soon :)Is the U.S. Postal Service THIS slow? Please help?
If we have anything of Importance we use Fed X or UPS !
Our son had to get his stuff via the US Postal service and he got his stuff Christmas Day !
Barely !

If the US Postal Service was funded by tax payers,?
and not by the fees they charge for shipping, would FedEx and UPS still exist as they are today?
If your answer is "Probably not", then how are private health insurance companies going to exist when the government has the ability to undercut competition due to our tax dollars mopping up any red ink?If the US Postal Service was funded by tax payers,?
White House To Do List:
1) Brainwash Americans with greasy smile - check
2) Take over Banks - check
3) Take over Car Companies - check
4) Create H1N1 distraction - check
5) Take over Health care - pending
6) Take over Farms - pending
7) Send America's tax dollars to Muslim countries - checkIf the US Postal Service was funded by tax payers,?
Wrong...try again.If the US Postal Service was funded by tax payers,?
I believe the USPS IS subsidized by taxpayer money.
And it's still going broke. It's called mismanagement, and it's about the only thing the federal government does well.things to do postal insurance

United States Postal Service Question?
I tracked down the package that i was suppose to receive and it said that it was delivered at 12:35 PM yesterday.
I looked outside and there was no package or note.
That night i looked at my security cameras and it showed the mailman drop off mail at 12:12 PM. Just regular mail, no package. He never attempted to drop anything off at my doorstep.
I called the shipper to ask where he sent it and he told me the correct address. So i call USPS and basically they say that there is no insurance so they cant do anything.
What do i do now???United States Postal Service Question?
Another example of the USPS ineptness and total lack of customer service. But the taxpayers will be responsible for handsomely rewarding this non service in retirement benefits. CHANGE NEEDS TO HAPPEN.United States Postal Service Question?
Check back with the postal service. They can put a trace on your package and it doesn't have to be insured. I have had them do this before for me. Tell them about the security camera and show it to them if necessary but don't let them put you off. If necessary go to the post office and ask to see the post master. Good luck.

Do you actually believe that there is room for everyone in the middle some place .?
I have looked in the paper at the help wanted adds .Lots of people needed to drive a truck -lots of health care workers needed . A few insurance people and sales jobs .By an far very few good paying jobs . Teachers ,police, postal service ,civil service , city managers engineers, prosecuting and defense attorneys needed .But all those jobs cost tax payers . Then I look at the firms hiring for Engineers ,Architects and find that the company doing the hiring is a government contractor in most cases . Without taking from one group and giving to another what kind of system do we have going here .
Taxes have tripled in the last 60 years and so has the number of people working for the government .I know we need services but at what cost . If a laborer on a government job earns 15 dollars and hour then all laborers should earn the same right . A carpenter on a government job earns 26 dollars so most carpenters should earn that much right . The government pays well to establish loyalty .Do you actually believe that there is room for everyone in the middle some place .?
What makes you think driving a truck isn't a good paying job? The average over-the-road company driver, a driver that drives a company owned truck, makes about $45K to $60K. An owner operator, a driver that owns his own truck, makes about $75K to $100K.
Now, how does that stack up to a job that requires $60K or so in college education and the lost of 4 working years while going to college?Do you actually believe that there is room for everyone in the middle some place .?
Your premise appears to be that the gvt pays better than the private sector. Gvt jobs, generally, have the best job security %26amp; benefits but not pay. Believe the room in the middle is primarily service related. Skilled tradesman can go independent and make a good living. $45.+ per hr for a carpenter. $85. per hr for a plumber. Electricians, automotive technicians, heavy equipment operators, cosmotologists, pharmacy techs, radiologists... all can earn extremely well. Can easily make $60k yearly as a trucker. Teachers are paid on the state level and school taxes determine that rate of pay. Police departments get a good portion of their funding from ticketing %26amp; liscensing. Post Office gets most of its funding through direct sales of stamps %26amp; package fees (similar to Fed Ex, etc) Trash pick-up, etc is bid on and contracted out -one can make $15.-$20.hr in the right cities. Expenses for that shows up on your city utility bill. Actual taxpayer money goes more the infrastructure, social security programs, etc. Many firms, manufacturing plants, have gvt contracts as well as private contracts from all over the world. Many people don't realize that American business is being slowly but surely bought out, more and more, by foreign buyers. Very little manufacturing here is American citizen owned. Engineers and architects working independent or for those companies can make some staggering money - way over what any gvt job can pay. Don't believe the gvt is trying to 'establish loyalty' - there are more applicants than positions. In the private sector there are mass openings in human resources and technical writing areas. Training schools can be a much sounder option for many people over generic college degrees. Room in the middle, again services and specialization. Telephone, electric, cable lineman....many more jobs. May start small pay but those jobs actually teach you while you gain experience. All pay better privately than by the gvt.Do you actually believe that there is room for everyone in the middle some place .?
Many high paying jobs don't advertise in the want ads. The government pays above market in some fields and below market in others, though where it pays below market you get a lot of dysfunctional people who wouldn't last doing the job in the private sector - often it's a complete boondoggle. Tolltakers, for example, make in the $50K range to make change. Do you think that's what supermarket cashiers should make or realize what things would cost if they did?
As for "middle" I am guessing you mean middle class. Economists often define middle class to mean households earning between 2X and 5X the poverty level of income. Over the last 25 years there's been a migration upwards - if you plot it on a graph with number of households on the Y axis and multiple of the poverty level of income on the X axis, in the 1970s there was a bell curve around 3.5X-4X and no fat tail on either end. The bell has bulged to the right over the last 25 years - many households have left that 2X-5X range but 92% of them have moved UP. There's still a "middle" but a lot of them now count as "affluent" even though most probably consider themselves upper middle class. Just so you don't think I'm making this up I've included some links below - one to Cato citing the Census Bureau and one to the Census Bureau.

Please help! Michigan driving record question?
I was in an accident in a company vehicle but not issued a ticket and i have no points on my license. Is there a public record connecting me with the insurance claim, or is it all in the name of the employer? Im applying for postal job and i need to know if i can omit this from my driving record.Please help! Michigan driving record question?
I would come clean. They do an exhaustive search on new employees. You traded info with the other driver, and they gave it to their ins.company. Also the employer may have filled your info on the ins. form. You don't want that to come back and bite you, least not for a job that you don't want to loose.
