Forum Moderator  User ID: 73370917  United States08/14/2020 06:15 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Based on the mail we receive, every mail carrier can tell you who is Republican or Democrat on their route. But I'm sure we can trust them to deliver ballots from Republicans.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joe Biden gained the presidential endorsement of the National Association of Letter Carriers on Friday, a union that boasts nearly 300,000 active and retired postal workers. "Vice President Biden is — was — and will continue to be — a fierce ally and defender of the United States Postal Service (USPS), letter carriers, and our fellow postal brothers and sisters," NALC president Fredric Rolando said in a statement that also praised Democratic vice presidential pick Kamala Harris. "Together, Biden and Harris fully exhibit the experience, dedication, thoughtfulness and steady hands that will work to ensure that letter carriers and working families are put first," he said. The endorsement comes less than three months before Election Day and a day after President Donald Trump said he opposes Postal Service funding pushed by Democrats, noting that those resources were necessary to advance the cause of mail-in voting during the coronavirus pandemic.

If no then you have no idea what the union is all about. You really think that 300K postal workers will be trashing Trump issued ads? They have too much to do in order to pick out single Trump letters from the mail stream and then toss it into the garbage on their route. Plus if there are 300K union members delivering I can guarantee you that there are 600K mail men who are NOT members of that union. Plus, those 600K folks are probably Trump supporters yet would not let too many folks know how they vote. 300000 union members, Look to see how many union members were in the ranks 20 years ago. It would have been over 1M. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 77996959 United States08/14/2020 09:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Follow a few minutes behind a postal worker on the day he delivers ballots and remove all the ballots from their mailboxes. Fill out the ballots for the candidate of your choice and drop off at voting place. People that had their ballot stolen will have to vote in person on Election Day. |

But to blame Trump? They've been asking for money since I was born. Been a few R's and D's since then. Last Edited by PatriotGeorge on 08/14/2020 10:19 PM |

It would have been over 1M." Actually, because of automation the number of USPS has decreased. There were 470,000 at the end of 2019. And there are 3 unions for employees. The 300,000 backing Biden is the city carrier union. I do not know who the other 2 unions are backing, but I can tell you that the one backing Biden is the largest union of them all and most city carriers belong to it. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79080587 Its not competitive in any way. Its a loser outfit. The sooner it’s dismantled the better! Actually govt. agencies are much better than private agencies. Why do you think police, fire etc. are govt. agencies? There isnt even a debate unless you are an imbecile or have a dog in the race...so to speak. Private, i mean large conglomerations, can be down right horrific and when they fail... they just dont give care and take the money and run...well the few do. |
