Can’t wait to hear the real story.
Agreed Charles,
There is a story behind the story
The USPS went big on privatizing a great deal of their processing and transportation services around 30 years ago.
Indianapolis was the epicenter of that privatization effort.
The private contractors were held to much higher standards than the postal union operations. The private contractors were saving the USPS a lot of money and were more efficient in every way.
* The postal union deeply resented the whole privatization thing and wanted to see it ended.*
The USPS started retaking over many operations that they had privatized.
From what I have heard and read, the new USPS consolidated facility on the southeast side has been a disaster. Maybe it’s just growing pains, but I think it is more than that. A lot more!
The USPS kept wringing more and more out of the private contractors until it was just to difficult for many of them to operate functionally and financially.
