The local post office has closed its doors indefinitely due to employees’ refusal to work in hazardous conditions.
This closure is the most recent development in a series of strikes stemming from ongoing health concerns at postal facilities.
The presence of raw sewage spilling out has compelled workers to walk off the job, highlighting the numerous instances of health risks within the building in recent years.
No specific timeline has been provided for addressing the issue or reopening the facility.
To hell with this useless bunch of insensitive freeloaders. The public has already got used to being without you and each of you should be declared redundant. Send them all home. We don’t need them anymore. Let them go home to enjoy their own homegrown sewage seeping from their own walls. And shame on the government for failing to correct this damn nonsense!
Perfectly said
it makes no sense they strike its like everyday they at work but they not there sit there doing nothing
Who cares???? not me
They don’t do anything there anyway but give you bad attitude and the post office boxes don’t even work with the keys they give you.
This is disgraceful I have been paying attention to the complaints at the post office for years and these issues there are so easy to correct but who ever get the jobs seems to be purposely doing a bad job in order to get repeat a couple of years later. For the example the leaking issue, just replaced the entire roof with a new and better design. Sewage just pump the storage tanks regularly. But just like most governments properties are left to run down so workers complained then government of the day rent one of their cronies properties…. Ummmmm election campaign financing. Both the UPP and ABLP are guilty of that
So how is mail being delivered? And why not convert one of those vacant government buildings into a post office?
I was made to understand that the planned structure on Independence drive was intended to ease parking of vehicular traffic etc in the Centre City to allow for the construction and installation of a sewage plant that by now would have been in service to prevent or reduce issues like this. Shortsightedness and other inefficiencies by/in our Government failed to see the big picture, rather they played their small minded politics and so Rob the nation of this asset/development. Not only that but it will cost us much more in depreciation of the current unfinished structure.
They beat their chest for poor and selfish greedy management of our affairs.
Oh! What a lovely environment, including healthy working conditions could have been rolled out by now for our people had they performed in a continous manner with the previous administration. We must never forget that. Therein lies our real problem.
