USPS is facing stiff competition from free email, greeting cards etc. plus their 5.5billion upfront pension payment ordered by congress was a death knell to begin with. It was stupid to expect the usps to be able to come up with that type of cash, continually.
I don't want to see the USPS go under because it is still the best deal around for our company but the gov, workers, unions etc, brought this on themselves. This is what comes from greed.......

I started filling those ship anything you can fit in the box packages filled with bricks just to **** em off.
Unions are just as corrupt as the Obama administration. The sooner this is learned by union employees, the better off those [stupid] people will be. It's a hard lesson, but stupid people are usually hard-headed and they don't learn lessons easily. Again, there's litt'e doubt that the vast majority of the 18,500 employees that are losing their jobs are supporters of Obama (because Obama is in bed with the unions), therefore it is only justification that these Obama supporters lose their job. Maybe they'll learn that unions and Obama are bad for the country...but because they are so damn stupid they may not ever learn.
Again, another clueless poster. How do you know they voted for the President? Again, how is 20 years of being badly run the Presidents fault? Nice duck and dodge on the question. And to say people deserve to be fired is as unAmerican as it gets or is it being pro conservative American.

Union employees are TOLD who to vote for by their UNIONS! You aren't that obtuse are you?
My guess is production will now be consolidated in lower cost right to work states in the South. How ironic if the baker union members end up moving to say Mississippi to work at lower wages without any union membership to keep their old jobs?
More likely they will stay in Seattle and be unemployed until they can train for a decent paying job, or work for minimum wage.
Unions are destructive. They have forgotten that employment is a two way street - people provide a service, implement a skill, or perform a task, for a wage. If someone refuses to work - guess what - that wage can be eliminated (in other words - you don't have a job anymore).
Unions may have been useful at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution - when we were transitioning fom an agricultural and home based business economy to an industrial one, but they have since outlived there usefulness.
Now anyone who really wants to work can do so - even if they have to move elsewhere - transportation is cheap enough to make such a move possible, if someone has saved their cash for an emergency.
It isn't like one has to stay in the union controlled company town anymore - if you don't like conditions or pay - get another job.

No one can tell you who to vote for . I can guarantee you conservative Indiana a lot of those employees voted for Mitt Romney and just about anyone of those employees living in one of the donut counties esp. 90% voted for Mitt Romney.
Most of them will probably end up at small bakery jobs near their hometown. Probably for less wages but more of a family atmosphere.
Newsflash, small family owned bakeries tend to hire, wait for it..............................
family members. Doubtful there is enough demand for mass production twinkie baking experts at your mom and pop bake shop.
