More rural postal workers in the US speak out about thousands in lost wages due to new compensation formula

On May 31, the WSWS published an initial article on the new Rural Route Evaluation Compensation System for rural letter carriers in the US Post Office. This new pay system, based not on hours worked but on an “evaluation” based on the amount of mail delivered and difficulty in delivering it, is completely opaque and has resulted in drastic cuts to annual compensation, in some cases up to five figures.

Since then, the WSWS has received an overwhelming response from letter carriers, eager to share with the world the scope and impact of these cuts.
