I have a friend who was a postal carrier but is now retired. He always hated to go to work on Mondays since there was always more mail since no deliveries on Sunday. Whenever a holiday was added to that Sunday, the back-up of mail was horrible. Employees had to work overtime; of course, they got paid for that overtime. Can't help but wonder now how much overtime will have to be paid nationwide since there will be no mail delivered on Saturdays....and can you just imagine adding extra holidays to the week-ends. How much will actually be saved in the long run?
