January 1, USPS Suspends Services Due To “Safety Concerns”

Published

on

Since the beginning of October, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has suspended services in at least seven different states over “safety concerns.”

Just last week, the USPS announced that several more post offices in Louisiana and Tennessee were no longer open to customers. The Postal Service said “operations are temporarily suspended” at the post office in Evangeline, Louisiana.

“Due to safety concerns, retail operations have been temporarily suspended at the Evangeline Post Office,” the USPS wrote in a news release. “Until repairs can be made to the postal facility, Evangeline customers can pick up their Post Office Box mail and obtain retail services at the Jennings Post Office.”

The USPS issued another update on Oct. 31, alerting customers that operations at multiple facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee were “temporarily suspended until further notice.”

“We apologize for any inconvenience customers may experience, but the safety of both customers and employees is our highest priority.,” the USPS wrote.

The Postal Service’s announcement came shortly after a Chattanooga Post Office employee fatally shot his supervisor after a heated argument at their workplace. The shooting took place on Oct. 30, ABC News reported.

Earlier in Oct., the USPS also announced post office closures in Mosinee, Wisconsin; Grandview, Iowa; Pemberton, Ohio; Stanley, New York; and Birmingham, Alabama.

According to the Postal Service, the Mosinee Post Office was closed following “structural damage to the lobby caused by a vehicle impact.” Building fires prompted the suspension of services in Grandview and Pemberton. Meanwhile, the USPS said the closure in Stanley was due to “unforeseen roof repairs.” The most recent closure in Birmingham was made “in an abundance of caution.” The USPS told a local news outlet that structural issues at the facility were causing a safety concern.

    The article leads with a shooting and then a vehicle running into a building, then mentions several other closing (structural damage, roof damage) but does not say if these were caused by terrorists or faulty maintenance. I find this to be very poor reporting.

    Gee, the American people when through the same BS under the Obama Administration. Our Post Office was closed for some stupid reason, we were lied to about it, and told it would be reopened shortly. Well, at least 8 years have passed, and we still don’t have our Post Office, but a number of smaller ones have never been closed. WHY?? Sounds like the Post Service is unable to take care of itself. The USPS has cried every year, except under Democrats, that it needs more and more money from the taxpayers to cover their services, why is that?
    President Trump was trying to clean up the USPS, but the people in it, mostly managers & supervisors, knew if it was cleaned up, they would be out of jobs. But under Democratic Administrations, their corruption could go on and on, and the taxpayers would be paying more and more.

    Main Stream Media is not interested in any facts that can not be used against Republicans, MAGA or conservatives. I’m just as DONE with MSM as I am with Democrats and the Chinese gov.

    Any chance these closures cover up cheating on mail in ballots??

      NOW, that’s a good thought! I wondered how the mail in ballots would be sabotaged this time!

    I am hoping after the election is over the GOP will be gung-ho on using the 67% rule and get some things changed. Al the executive orders that were not constitutional be over turned.
    Also hope some real journalists come forward and start telling us the truth about what is going on.

    I would be interested to know if these USPS locations are in majority red or blue areas of the particular state.

    I worked for the USPO for 30 years and we never had any problems wit h the people who were are supervisors to the point of getting even. Today you have a bunch of nut people who can’t take the heat of criticism. They are a bunch of snowflakes. Part of the problem is that the people they hire don’t want to work. Plus they can;t pass the DRUG test. A solution could be that people on well fare must work to get their check. If work is provided for weather the USPO or some other job and they don’t want to work then they don’t get a paycheck. No matter what the job entails.
