So true! I was a mail carrier for 20 years & have been threatened for trying to file a workmens comp claim! One time I almost passed out from heat exhaustion on a day I was on the street of my route. I called my supervisor to tell him this. The postmaster told me he would write me up for being unsafe! I was being safe by calling my supervisor reporting to him that I was suffering from heat exhaustion rather than passing out while delivering mail which would have been unsafe.

I have worked for the Postal unservice for over 30 years....for the first 15, it wasn't bad.They let you do your job and that was it. Then automation came in and totally screwed up the works. It saves some money....but it ends up in managements pockets ( bonuses for harrassing the carriers, etc). But now, we are nothing but pack mules that have no rights, but to do whatever mgmt. wants. If you get hurt, it's always YOUR fault. Good luck finding a lawyer to fight for you. Try working here! LOL!!!

@mistermassive1 I'm greedy. You're (not your) an idiot. Why is it greedy to want to make a good living? The people who work under me don't make that much less than I make, but they don't deserve to make as much either. It's dumbass peopole like you who want everything given to them without working for it first. Fuck you. BTW, I've got people lined up out the door wanting a job so, you lose. I think I'll fire somebody today just because I can.

I work for the USPS and this is typical. I hope WettCigarette never gets a repetivite syndrome injury...they're common when you work on the automatic equipment. Read about sexual harassment, inept management at Postal Blues. Video on YouTube under Postal Blues.

You can't just blame the letter carrier, or the management, unions is the biggest problem. When a corporation have nothing but unions. The only thing union do is bargain the best benefit for there own union. the whole corpration become a bunch of union fighting each other.. no work get done! its a cluster fuck! i know from my own experience.

Your misinformed there are many lawyers and advocates who are even much cheaper than lawyers. To me is sounds like you were the one who dropped the ball. Just calling it as i see it. and i do have experience with the PO and workers comp.
