I don't know about fax, but all postal employees with postal email have an address of the form: firstname.middleinitial.lastname@usps.gov.

Anyone have contact information, including fax for Postmaster General USPS?

Can't be a bad thing, fewer redundant and pointless management positions which will save us money.

New York Metro Area is being consolidated into the Northeast Area. Any opinions?

That's why Kitty asked Allen, not you.

I don't work in Alaska. I'm not a postmaster, I'm a clerk in New York.

allen............could you see russia from your window when you were in alaska/

When I was a PM in Alaska, I was a Notary as all PM's in Alaska are under Federal Law.

That's why my English courses were never taken on the internet. I need to look at the actual paper before I hand it in. That goes for memos, suggestions, important e-mails etc. When I write on a postal web site, for the most part I just type. Will it change things, doubt it. The postal service won't change until somebody makes it change. I just hope a lot of people aren't out of work while the postmaster general waits for somebody to tell him what to do. God knows if we ran our homes like this business is being run we'ld all be bankrupt and homeless. The problem is a lot of people are making over $50,000 a year in this business and have nothing to fall back on and if they haven't sucked up enough they are going to have problems when they get moved. I know in the post office I live near they could sure use some people who can say: "does your package have anything fragile, liquid, perishible or potentially hazardous in it" would you like to send that certified mail, or at least smile at the customer but that's me. Here's a suggestion for them have a senior window clerk or postmaster in the small towns be a notary or have a copy machine for the customer to use. In a small town where the post office is such a viable institution make them more viable a person may need a notary to sign legal paperwork, etc. I have mine and the postmaster never even asked and when I make a suggestion I'm told "I'm not a postmaster". But I'll go back to run on sentences.

/m2319 frustrated, the tone of your question leads me to believe that you are fishing because you have a problem with the schedule your Postmaster is keeping. Perhaps something other than a Postmaster forum would be found more helpful for that purpose.

how many hours each week are a level 16-18 PM supposed to work? Can they set their own hours?

/m2315 Business Degree? Im sure it is not an English degree with your run-on sentences.....

business or what /m2315 -- there is no business to save, the USPS is obsolete. Society doesn't need a giant government agency to deliver junk mail.

We all know what you are saying, and we all know what has to be done but heaven forbid we speak up and throw our 2 cents in to make a suggestion.

I also have a business degree, and how the Postal Service is run goes totally against what I have learned, in terms of how a corporation grows and prospers. Whenever you speak up and make a suggestion that goes against what they think is best for everybody, you bring unwanted scrutiny upon yourself. Companies that are on the top of their game are the ones that embrace suggestions and innovative ideas, not have you fill out a feel good "#2 pencil" survey that is only used to crunch more numbers.


This didn't work for the automakers, and it won't work for us.

As a postal employee with a business degree I have a question when does management get to say enough, while I agree with unions don't they see they are going to have to give something up (groceries cost more I'm not buying junk food, going out cost more, I'm staying home more, etc) well USPS is going through money like well like my teenagers would if I did not say the magic word no, hell no, what? sure i'll buy you that I want a bmw I'll go out this minute and order it? Isnt' it time to the postmaster general said enough is enough to save our business this is what is going to happen, sorry it's going to hurt people but I've got a business to run and if I don't stop now nobody will have a job?
