APWU Local President: USPS HQ Staff Has Increased 38% Since 2000

3/10/2010
Change from end of fiscal year 2009 through PP05 2010

USPS Headquarters                                                           +3.7%
USPS Field (Mgmt)                                                            +1.3%
USPS Postmasters-Supervisors-Managers                         -2.02%
USPS Craft Employees                                                      -3.79%
 
The facts are simply INCREDIBLE! If the statistics from 2000 through 2009 were not enough to cause outrage, this new information should. The number of the HIGHEST PAID Postal Employees have actually increased. The employees who actually perform the work on moving the mail, maintaining the facilities and equipment in support of moving the mail has decreased. Everyone reading this should contact their members of congress and give them these figures.
 
The USPS opens new "Contract Stations" weekly without career postal workers, less mail security, and less training for those employees. Maybe the savings are going towards paying the higher salaries of the added headquarters staff, while career employees along with the customer suffer.  
 
I updated the chart below to reflect from 2000 through 2010. Thanks to everyone for their feedback and once again, I love hearing your thoughts.
