Post office wanting to stop Saturday mail delivery

[Cataholic]

Am I correct that the unions are not willing to make any concessions?

Do the unions ever do without? Have they cut their payroll and pensions and lifetime health coverage?

These are sincere questions for which I have no answers. This isn't intended to start any arguments!

If you have health insurance, thank a union.
If you have overtime, thank a union.
If you have vacation time, thank a union.
If you have suffered discrimination, and prevailed, thank a union.
If you are female, and work for 'equal pay', thank a union.
If you work in an environment with 'safety regs', thank a union.

And, btw, I am not union, have never been union, but, recognize the union's purpose and presence in today's current employment (or, should I say, Labor) environment.

We've never had a Saturday postal delivery. Can't say that we miss it, we're used to it I guess. Nothing seems that important that it can't wait a few days. Here pension cheques or others are sent to make sure they come before a weekend so no one is out anything. For holidays the cheques come in earlier than their usual date. I also use the post for greeting cards only.

Well, when you are as isolated as I am, getting mail every day gives me something to look foreward too.
