The WSWS recently spoke with a rural letter carrier for the United States Postal Service about working conditions following the implementation of the new Rural Routes Evaluated Compensation System (RRECS) method of calculating wages. Since its deployment roughly two-thirds of rural letter carriers have reported steep cuts in pay.
The RRECS system is an arbitrary evaluation system based on how long a route is determined to take. Workers are expected to scan every item for tracking and delivery, and they are given a specific amount of time for each type of parcel to deliver it. If workers fall behind on the allotted schedule, they will see their pay reduced.
It would be nice if we could strike like UPS can. Just saying.
If you are represented by a Democrat US Senator, ask them to change the law to remove the no strike provision for federal employees. They are all for UPS being able to walk. What about us?

Railway employees were barred from striking by Biden and Congress last year. If UPS goes out, you can be sure they will do the same. Any strike will be illegalized. But then, so was the 1970 postal strike.
I have been saying for years that democrats are anti union every time there’s a democrat in White House we get pay cut
