New Post Office Ruling Forces Carriers to Work Vacations
A new ruling by the Post Office Department requires carriers to cover mail for colleagues on vacation without substitutes being paid. Three carriers now handle four routes while one is off, risking financial loss for substitutes and increased workload for the regular staff. The change, effective by October 1, tightens vacation timing and prompts reports of potential service disruption at the local office.
