Supreme Court Rules For Postal Worker in Age Discrimination Case - Supreme Court said Tuesday that a major anti-age bias law protects federal employees who faced retaliation after complaining about discrimination. The court ruled 6-3 that a U.S. Postal Service employee may pursue her lawsuit under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. The case involves Myrna Gomez-Perez, a postal worker in Puerto Rico who alleged she was being discriminated against because of her age. Gomez-Perez, who was then 45, said that after she filed a complaint with the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission, she suffered a "series of reprisals" from her supervisors.

Lawmakers have all but doomed chances for a bill to pass that would allow rehired federal retirees to earn both their full salaries and pensions.

Tax Obligations of USPS Employees

Regrettably, the USPS has recently received a number of notifications from federal, state and local taxing authorities indicating that an increasing percentage of our employees have some type of income tax delinquency. For example, the Internal Revenue Service (and several other federal agencies) have issued Federal Tax Levies and Salary Offsets against approximately 8,000 of our employees. To have this many employees with a balance owed is more than just an issue between the IRS and an individual. When USPS employees are viewed as being non-compliant with the proper payments of their federal taxes, it impacts the public’s confidence in our abilities to conduct our assigned mission of delivering the mail. |

Study: Ethanol Vehicles for USPS Burn More Gas, Get Fewer Miles - The U.S. Postal Service purchased more than 30,000 ethanol-capable trucks and minivans from 1999 to 2005, making it the biggest American buyer of alternative-fuel vehicles. Gasoline consumption jumped by more than 1.5 million gallons as a result. The trucks, derived from Ford Motor Co.'s Explorer sport- utility vehicle, had bigger engines than Jeeps from the former Chrysler Corp. they replaced. A Postal Service study found the new vehicles got as much as 29 percent fewer miles to the gallon. Mail carriers used the corn-based fuel in just 1,000 of them because there weren't enough places to buy it. Going Postal: With Flex-Fuel Trucks, Postal Service Burns MORE Gas |

PMG John Potter told more than 3,000 people attending the National Postal Forum to look beyond the current economic downturn and continue to transition mail into the 21st Century.

FSS is new technology that will speed the sorting and delivery of large envelopes, catalogs and magazines, quadrupling productivity. FSS machines also will be able to read the Intelligent Mail Barcode, allowing mailers and the Postal Service to track mail throughout the sortation process, improving service and reducing costs to mailers and consumers. |

Court of Appeals Keeps Alive 14-Year-Old Lawsuit Against NALC

But slams all Labor Union Officers in its decision - Letter Carrier David Noble filed a lawsuit against NALC President William H. Young, President Emeritus Vincent R. Sombrotto, and 10 other former NALC officers. The suit, filed in February,1994 alleged that the officers breached their fiduciary duties under federal law by accepting in-town expenses, convention per diem payments, and FICA reimbursements. An Appeals Court reversed in part and vacated in part. The other interesting part of this opinion are the comments found at the end which states: "Thanks to the court’s decision, pilfering union chieftains should sleep more easily tonight." |

Unions should be required to make public more details of their internal finances, the Labor Department said Thursday as it proposed new changes to union disclosure forms.

Bulk mailers enjoy increase in business when postal rates rise

While increasing postage rates coincide with a steep decline in the use of first-class mail, standard or bulk mail is enjoying a surge of popularity, especially with direct marketers. Nearly a third of the Postal Service’s revenue comes from direct mail — in 2007, it accounted for $22.8 billion of the agency’s $75 billion income. The use of first-class postage has declined since 1999, but the number of standard-mail pieces has grown by a little more than 20 percent. Bulk mailers get discounts, you get pricier stamps |

Good Question: Why Not Stop Saturday Mail?

With the U.S. Postal Service reporting a second quarter net loss of $707 million, and first class stamps about to rise to 42 cents, cost cutting is on the mind of the executives, and of WCCO-TV viewers. The Postal Service handled more than 51 billion pieces of mail in the second quarter, and the entire distribution system has been designed to distribute that load over six days. "It would make it very difficult. Right now, our Monday's volume is usually our heaviest volume day, so if we didn't have Saturday delivery, then it would be Monday and Tuesday that would be extremely heavy," said Larson. It's possible it would take a letter carrier 12 hours to finish a Monday route with six days of work being crunched into five. |

USPS Workforce Size and Employment Categories, 1987-2007

Congressional Research Service (CRS) Report :This report provides data from the past two decades on the size of the U.S. Postal Service's (USPS's) workforce, the number of persons employed by USPS by employment categories, and the number of persons employed by USPS under time-limited contracts. It also analyzes the most salient aspects of these employment data. USPS employs nearly 786,000 persons.

The number of career employees declined 8.8% since 1987; however, the number of non-career employees increased 106.5%. Clerks, who staff retail counters at post offices and manually sort mail, dropped more than 31% since 1987. Rural mail delivery carriers, in contrast, grew 84.9%; and building and equipment maintenance personnel and vehicle maintenance personnel grew 28.7% and 14.9%, respectively. |
