I would hope i am not the ONLY one to do this this weekend.
Copy and paste BOTH the William Burrus Letter to send in one e-mail...and the AWESOME post
http://postcom.org/public/articles/2009articles/get.angry.htm posted by a Reader's Digest employee as a response to the USPS's query for help regarding what to do to improve itself. (That dude just BLASTS the Postal Service for NOT doing what it was challenged and promised many years ago to fix the COA system) I think it's link says something about anger to the USPS, or something similar. Both oughta be sent several MILLION times from all over this country by all of us to get the House Comittee to understand the lack of REAL efforts in advancing. Show THEM the smoke and mirrors! Don't just hope!

VERA: The figures of EAS employees who previously took the VER are:
Supervisor Customer Services-374
Supervisor Distribution Operations-96
Other Field EAS-581
Postmasters-928
HQ/HQ-related employees-190
this is a total of 2169 positions which remain open... few if any EAS will actually lose their jobs.
