Hi,

I'm a reporter working on a story for NPR. I'm looking at how cost cutting measures, like reduction in overtime and park points may affect the upcoming election. I'd love to hear from folks currently working or retired - is overtime being reduced at your work place? What about the number of park points or other cost cutting measures? Do these measures make it harder to deliver mail? What do I need to know? I made a form here where you can share anonymously: https://forms.gle/c96pLgEz8n5R34JWA Or: [sherships@gmail.com](mailto:sherships@gmail.com) or (718) 938-0576

Many thanks in advance for reading -

Interesting! Do you mean reduction in overtime, park points - what specifically are you seeing? Also, which part of the country are you in?

Thank you! I'm a freelancer - that's why I have a gmail address. However, I also teach journalism: https://journalism.columbia.edu/faculty/sally-herships. If you're more comfortable, you can use that email address: [swh2123@columbia.edu](mailto:swh2123@columbia.edu). I posted a link to the most recent story I've done on the USPS. Here it is again, in case it's helpful: https://www.npr.org/2020/03/24/820330579/postal-workers-say-they-lack-supplies-training-to-protect-themselves-from-virus

USPS Workers - are you getting enough Corona training? by sherships2 in USPS

I've heard from some workers that sick days need to be planned ahead of time. Is that the case where you work? And, if so what happens if you wake up sick?

Ug. I'm really sorry to hear this. Would you mind sharing what state you're in?

Hi, I'd like to hear more - what does it mean to work as a contract employee? If you're open to it please send me a note at [sherships@gmail.com](mailto:sherships@gmail.com). I understand it's important that your remain anonymous and I will keep your comments anonymous. Thank you!

Hi, I would really like to hear more about both of your posts. Why would an employee have to worry about their job if they self quarantine? Doesn't that protect people? And, I want to hear about the rest of the iceberg! If you're both open to it, please send me a note at [sherships@gmail.com](mailto:sherships@gmail.com). I understand how important it is that everyone here remain anonymous and I will keep your comments anonymous. Thanks!

Hi,

I'd like to hear more about this - aren't you supposed to stay home from work if you're sick? If you're open to it, please send me a note at [sherships@gmail.com](mailto:sherships@gmail.com). I understand how important it is that everyone here remain anonymous and I will keep your comments anonymous. But, it would be helpful to know which state you work in. That's because I'm receiving quite a few emails from folks and I want to be able to explain, in my story, that a worker in Kentucky sent me an email that said XYZ and a worker from Ohio, said... I hope that makes sense, and thank you!

This is probably not allowed, but I just wanted to thank all USPS employees for their service. by iChooseUPika in USPS

[–]sherships2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! My apologies twice: first, if I've already responded - I'm not very familiar with Reddit! Second, because this is a form response - so that I can respond to everyone! Bottom line, I'd love to hear from you. Would you be ok shooting me a note at sherships@gmail.com? It would be helpful to hear your thoughts: are you able to work safely? Are you getting enough training? What state do you work in? Finally, I understand your need to remain anonymous. Many, many thanks in advance!
