Union Responds to NH GOP Rep’s Claim of Postal Workers Delaying His Mail

Posted on by postal

Union says New Hampshire  GOP House Speaker brought his mail to the post office too late for processing.

Here is what New Hampshire Labor News is reporting:

Yesterday, Speaker Bill O’Brien accused the workers of the USPS of tampering with his political mail.  In a follow up to yesterday’s post, I went out to talk to someone who could fill in some of the details to further disprove these outlandish allegations.

I spoke with Chris Howe, the president of the APWU local 230 at the Goffs Falls Road mail processing plant.   He told me in a phone interview that, “after he heard about the post he immediately went to research what exactly happened.”  I asked what the standard delivery is for this type of mail.  Howe stated, “It is a two day turn around if it is dropped off at the post off by a certain cutoff time”.  Howe continued, “The Speaker’s mail was not received by the USPS in time to be processed that day”.  Due to the fact that it was not was able to be processed in the same day moved the delivery date back one day.  Howe re-iterated that “the Speaker’s mail was processed and delivered without any delay and with the same high level of service people expect from the USPS”.

In my research I also found that to tamper with the mail is not only wrong but it is a Federal Offense that could lead to a fine of up to $250,000 and up to five years in federal prison.

These claims are completely false and the Speaker is only trying to promote his anti-union agenda as he is campaigning for re-election. The USPS workers have served our nation for over 225 years, and is still the best in the world.

  1. “Obammy was elected in 2008, had both House & Senate in control of Congress until 2010……….it is the DemoKKKrats that are to blame…..they were more interested in getting their paws on our health care system to rip off. they sucked the PO dry just like they did social security for 35 years………what do you expect from the party of the southern plantation owners…………..Biden was right when he said he was rattling them chains-again.”

    Not true!! Dems didn’t take over until ’09, it was lame duck GOP led congress that was in power from the end of the election of ’08 until Jan 20, 2009!!!

    But hey, don’t let facts get in the way of your nonsense. I’m sure you’re winning people over to your side of things!!

  2. Oh now you care about the USPS and its service!! Talk about self-serving. Your postage is free and you went on break without voting about the USPS cause you didn’t have time!!! Now now you want to cry foul, what about all the workers you have left waiting for decisions by you. Oh that’s okay cause we are actually nothing to you until you need us and then when it is proven you did not get your free mail to the USPS on time for same day processing then you notice the employees BUT you blame them for your mistake, With all the money USPS is losing maybe we should change policy for Washington and put your free mail that was late in front of a paying customer who got the mail to USPS on time. And by the way when you manage/if you manage to take the USPS private they will charge you for your political mail and use the same rules or worse for delivery!!!!!
    You get what you wish for instead of what you need which is the USPS!!

  4. Speaker Bill O’Brien
    You are doing a good job of speaking now. Speak is cheap!
    What is the definition of POLITICS? Your number one goal is to get re- elected and BTW, that is the number one goal in POLITICS. BALLS

  5. I just read that Obama has finished his 2013 budget and wants us down to 5 day delivery by Jan 2013. How come nobody from the Union has mentioned this???? Could it be that this is the guy they told us to vote for 4 years ago???
    They said he loved us and understood us. So, who are we supposed to vote for now????????????????
