Contract Postal Employee Accused of Tossing Political Mail In Orange County.

[para bellum]

I posted a number of bad eggs. But one thing they had in common is that the career employees held onto the mail, and didn't throw it away.
They intended to deliver it, but it just kept piling up.

Temporary workers would just find a dumpster, or other way to dispose of it.

Well, undelivered is just the same as destroyed for the person who was supposed to receive it.

The guy in Belfair burned some of it, and buried the rest on his property. He had no intention of someday delivering it.

I mean, if it's overwork that causes it, maybe the temporary guys are less likely to do something like that, I don't know. There are shitty employees in all sorts of workplaces, and those very same workplaces have some great workers too.

What I love most about this is that this time they're getting caught and Spaz can't squawk conspiracy theory anymore.

Sounds like this guy was seasonal.

He was a contract worker.

As long as it exists, the post office when they find it, will try to deliver it.
There have been cases of mail 40+ years old being found, and they did their best to deliver it to the intended, or to a surviving family member.

It would be better if the mail was delivered, but the person can at least make a case why they didn't respond to one of those missing pieces of mail.
Possibly get any penalties or sanctions reversed, even if years later.

How do we expect mail carriers to carry trash election mail? Trash

What is that supposed to mean? It's their job.

Rat ******* the election.

Actually I'm thinking just everyday laziness and incompetence.

That's true, and I don't knock on the Postal Service. They are pretty damn reliable, and you're right- I've received fragments of mail years late, with an apology and a "we tried". They always try to deliver it, no matter however long it takes.

Career employees have been known to do it too...

SEATTLE (AP) - Recently unsealed court documents say a Hood Canal mail carrier who was fired in 2010 for burning undelivered mail actually held on to much more mail.

When they give you 9 hours worth of mail, and only 8 hours to deliver it.

Do the math.

Now wash, rinse and repeat the same thing every day.

At least one mail ballot and several pieces of campaign literature were among the discarded items.

Contract postal worker accused of tossing political mail in Orange County

At least one mail ballot and several pieces of campaign literature were among the discarded items.

A U.S. Mail contract postal worker is accused of throwing 1,000 pieces of mail — including at least one mail-in ballot and 400 political mailings — into the woods Tuesday in Orange County instead of delivering the items just before the Nov. 5 election, according to a new federal criminal complaint.

Ottis Nicole McCoy Jr. tossed the mail into a neighborhood cul-de-sac in Alafaya Woods, authorities said in the criminal complaint filed Friday in the U.S. District Court’s Orlando division.

Suspicions about McCoy were raised after another employee helped McCoy load the day’s route that morning and McCoy left “with a very large quantity of U.S. Mail” to deliver Tuesday but instead finished the route earlier than expected, the complaint said.

McCoy’s boss at Cummings Contract Delivery Service Corp checked the GPS under McCoy’s car and could see the postal worker veered off his route. Another delivery service employee drove to the empty lot and found the mail scattered on the ground and in the bushes, the federal records said.

Ya want stories about postal contract employees, I've got years of stories. Virtually all postal employees are on contracts in my area. I had a long heart to heart with a supervisor this morning, with tons of photos to back up my complaints. I told her they needed to change their hiring procedures. Her response, I wish I had a say. In the almost 30 years I've been dealing with that post office, I've had two great mail ladies, things went to shit when they left my routes and on their days off before that. The DEI hires they're bringing in now are lazy and aren't worth the powder it would take to blow their brains out. I bet that's the case with the guy in the OP, just flat out lazy. They've even lost my VA meds and can't find out who did the last tracking input.

Yep, and the one described in the OP appears to be a rural carrier as well. It said he was delivering to Orange county, not a city.

Why should they have to carry that garbage that our candidates put out? Seems illegal.

Because it's their job
