How Many Postal Workers Will Consolidations Affect?

From the American Postal Workers Union:

The Postal Service’s recent announcement that it has approved 223 mail processing facilities for consolidation has prompted questions about how many employees in the various crafts and areas will be affected. The chart below shows the numbers — based on current complements.

The numbers will change dramatically over time, however, because, on average, approximately 400 employees leave the Postal Service every pay period. As a result, the number of affected employees will vary from the figures below.

    Harry…………are you really a clerk or just posing as one to print that comment?

    the entire mess will be over May 15th

    Remember the APWU urging everyone not to take any offered retirement incentive until a “fair” offer was provided? Then Burrus jumped ship and has spent all his time since micromanaging via criticism of the current folks. It is amazing that employees with purportedly thirty plus years of service holding out for the “grail” of 5 years to age or service plus a $50,000 incentive payout. That is not an option, and even if it were that is not how the agency functions. They grant wishes by making things so untenable you wish you had retired back when it was offered. Even if you are top dog, when most below you are gone or relocated, you will find yourself in a less desirable position. Hell we have some people still working here with over 40 years and you get nothing added retirement wise after forty. They refuse to step away so someone younger can support a family today because they would die without this job.

    @Hmmmmm,
    I’m not sure why you think anyone should retired just because they have 40 years in. They don’t owe anyone younger a job. Many of those who don’t walk away enjoy their job or have needs which can only be met by continuing to work. A fers employee in particular has no incentive to retire, considering how poor their retirement options are, at 1% per year followed by a major increase in health insurance costs after they retire. And while I only have 25 years in and am not yet eligible to retire, I actually have a job I enjoy. I see no reason to retire once I’m eligible, as long as I still enjoy the job I have. I definitely will not feel obligated to retire, that’s just a stupid attitude.
