Postmaster installed by Trump causing huge lines due to employee cutbacks (PR and USVI)

CHARLOTTE AMALIE, VIRGIN ISLANDS — With the U.S. Postal Service becoming further disrupted by policy changes, restrictions on employees overtime and reduction in productive machinery, the results are being felt on a significant level in both the USVI and Puerto Rico.

Wait times at local post offices can range between 30 min to an hour for picking up packages. Understandably, after a major storm, this would be seen as acceptable.

The postal workers often suffer on two fronts. Firstly through reduction in pay due to cutbacks. Secondly in having to deal with customers that are becoming increasingly frustrated with the overall performance and process of USPS. Be patient with the USPS employees.

Every additional day he's in there, he's just doing more damage to an already hobbled service that millions of Americans rely on for medical, business, and other important needs.

GET THAT MOTHERFUCKER OUT OF THERE ALREADY FOR FUCK'S SAKE.

The three new members help. But there are still a few pro DeJoy members. I think two are leaving at the end of the year with replacements by President Biden. I think he’ll be gone sometime in 2022.
