semi-false information Al. what they mean is $41.15 after all
benefits are factored in for the life of the employee and into retirement.
however, I'm also not certain that the labor force is 80% of the USPS
cash outlay and I wonder if that figure includes some sort of stipend
for UPS & Fed-X employees whose jobs are USPS specific
however, we must also keep in mind a very important factor: that the
USPS is no charged with making a profit year-over-year. The task of
the USPS is to provide a service that is written into the
Constitution and breaks even financially. The origin of the post
office was so that periodicals, which at that time were largely
focused on advertising, and packages could be shipped and delivered
promoting commerce in America and by which our nation's economy could
benefit to help the nation onto a solid ground and to benefit the
population. For over 150 years, Postmaster General (as I'm sure you
know) was Cabinet level seat. This seat was eliminated under Richard
Nixon, at the beginning of the period when Congressional members were
starting to call for privatization of the USPS, something which would
be a major disaster. If the Republican-led Congress in 2006 (I
believe that's the year) had not mandated the USPS fund the
retirement account for 75 years in advance, the USPS would only now
start to be having certain financial troubles that it has been having
at this point for 4 years, and I dare say that rates would not be at
what is now a death-dealing increase to many small businesses, the
people that the Republicans are always citing when trying to get
through legislation.

I picked this up somewheres on the internet:
USPS labor force compensation (80% of all costs), which is paid an
average of $41.15 an hour, and which is over 60% unionized.
and one more thing ... I think that it has something to do with the
American capitalist system ... charge what the market will bear.
