Daily Report

Some postal customers calling 1-800-ASK-USPS are reporting wait times of over one hour to talk with a customer service representative! Should ALL Postal Workers Wear Uniforms? The USPS OIG wants to know “where do you stand on the great uniform debate? Do you think all postal workers, whether city or rural, part-time or full-time, should wear a uniform, or at least a uniformed shirt? Or only those workers visible to the public? Is the idea of a uniform old-fashioned or a way to give employees a stronger tie to the Postal Service mission and brand?”
