No mail delivery Friday!

Yep, in death Ronald Reagan does more for the nation's letter carriers that he ever did in life.

NO REGULAR MAIL DELIVERY OR RETAIL SERVICE ON FRIDAY, JUNE 11, AS MARK OF RESPECT FOR FORMER PRESIDENT RONALD W. REAGAN

WASHINGTON, D.C. - There will be no regular mail delivery or retail service at postal facilities on Friday, June 11, as the Postal Service honors the memory of former President Ronald Reagan by observing a National Day of Mourning.

Express Mail service will be available.

All postal units, including Headquarters, Area and District administrative offices will observe this day of mourning. Link

But, make no mistake the reactionaries will use this as ammunition that the nation's Postal System is in dire need of reform (the carrier, clerks etc., are overpaid and underworked yaddy-yaddy-yadda).

1. That better be a PAID holiday for postal workers ...

Or is this Bush's way of screwing people out of even MORE money so he can hand it to Halliburton????

2. It's paid leave...this time.

The day Nixon's funeral took place was the day before my scheduled day-off. I, and several others carriers, were mandatoried by management to report to work, in uniform, and case mail for eight hours in the office.

The NALC filed a class-action grievance, which I forgot about until I was awarded a check.

Postal management is not making that mistake this time.
