The acting postmaster of Hinesburg is his only employee and Shelburne is hurting as well.

Drug testing has been waived for 3 years now.

It's been longer than that in some areas.

The ARC position is the only position we currently have that do not get benefits as they only work Sundays and holidays.

RCA/CCA/PSE positions are immediately eligible for health insurance upon hire and after a year qualify for the Federal insurance benefits which include health, vision, and dental. If you join the union they have their own set of insurance benefits as well.

Postings go up for 7 days then come down and if no one applies it gets reposted so if someone is looking for a specific position if it's not there today it doesn't mean it won't be tomorrow.

In places like Burlington that have been consistently understaffed it is certainly possible. They have made changes to the CCA/RCA/PSE contracts where you are immediately qualified for health insurance benefits upon hire, and after a year you qualify for the Federal health benefits which include vision and dental. If you join the union they have their own benefit plans as well.

I appreciate this input. Send me a message with your name and contact information. If you have information for the other 4 people, I'd love to get in touch with them as well. Manny, the Postmaster of Bennington has been out delivering everyday. Within the past month we've made a "task force" of sorts to assist the struggling offices with recruitment. If you are truly interested in the job, I can get the ball rolling.

Hi! VT USPS employee here. USPS is not okay and needs more staffing in certain areas. Williston, Burlington, Hinesburg, Shelburne, Barre, and Springfield are some of the heaviest affected areas and have been for months. There are multiple other offices that are also struggling.

Over the past holiday weekend the Williston office operation was moved to a larger space to be able to house the volume of delayed packages and mail due to being about 1/3 staffed to compliment. The acting postmaster of Hinesburg is currently the only employee in his office. The Postmaster of Barre is out delivering 6-7 days a week.

The largest hurdle we have is USPS wages are no longer competitive especially considering the nature of the job. Being out in the elements, mandatory overtime, etc. On top of that add in that even if you want the job, from accepting the job offer to stepping your foot in the door you're in a 3 month limbo waiting for your background check to clear.

We understand the inconvenience and the frustration. Trust me, we're just as frustrated as you are. It is our mission and duty to provide the services our customers expect and deserve, but unfortunately in some spots at the moment it's like trying to drive up a mountain access road during the winter with summer tires.

They are junk mail. Unless you pay to send it back it will just be tossed.
