<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 845409, member: 13650&quot;]The problem lies with lobbyists.&nbsp;&nbsp; The &#039;volume&#039; they speak of is primarily <u><b>JUNK MAIL!&nbsp; </b></u> Have heard this from an insider.&nbsp; &nbsp; The little known secret is that all these companies sending flyers, free newspapers, etc... can only be charged a few cents for these very large, bulky articles of mail which account for most of the weight in the mail!&nbsp; &nbsp; They try to make up for it by raising the cost of our stamps a penny here and a penny there.&nbsp; But the junk mailers are never targeted for a rate increase.&nbsp; Despite requiring the most work and having the most weight.&nbsp;&nbsp; In fact, I&#039;ve heard they haven&#039;t increased rates on them in 20+ years.&nbsp; &nbsp; That&#039;s commercial.&nbsp; They don&#039;t want to hurt business.&nbsp; &nbsp; Well, we all suffer then.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I knew this was coming.&nbsp;&nbsp; The mail moves all weekend even when the post offices are closed.&nbsp;&nbsp; Looks like Mondays will be a real s.o.b. for the postal workers from here on out!&nbsp;&nbsp; A 3 day work load will have to go out every Monday.&nbsp;&nbsp; They&#039;ll love having their Saturdays off but you can bet what day everybody&#039;s going to be sick on now!&nbsp; lol[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
