Hello!
My name is Julia, but most people on the internet call me Brit.
I'm a self-taught digital artist with a lot of ideas and not nearly enough time to do them all!
I like game design, designing characters, and managing my closed species.
They're trying to pull delivery from local postal units. Basically, instead of each town having their carriers report to the PO IN the town, they report to the hub where all the packages, letters, etc. are being sorted - they lump many towns together. On top of that, they want to send a single truck out to the in-town post offices each day.
This is a HUGE waste of gas, it means that substitutes for towns will have to cover the other towns in the area as well.
To put it into perspective, I work in a rather small town. We get 2 trucks in the morning to drop off the mail to sort/distribute before 7am. We also get an afternoon and an evening truck to take the mail back to the distribution plants to process and get out to the rest of the US. One truck a day would mean they drop everything off to take care of in the morning and then collect all the mail we processed via retail from the day before.
We don't have much information on it right now, but the Unions are fighting this. I go to union meetings when I can to keep myself informed. :T
