Under the Postal Corporations “POST Plan”, there are still offices in western North Dakota that will be reduced to 2 or 4 hours of operation a day.
Sadly, there will be no employees that will work 2 or 4 hours day, six days a week. As far as there hiring, they are not getting employyes to apply. Who will work a non-career, no benefit position for these hours. On top of that alot of other places are looking for help with a larger salary and even benefits.
Notice how I called it Postal Corporation? It is not a service anymore, but a corporation. When you have Postal executives making more money thatn the Secretary of Defense, you know the greed is present in the Post Office Management.
