, it just keeps on coming!!!!

I wonder if any of the clowns would hire a sex offender to babysit their kids (but they do leave Joe alone with them)… An embezzler to keep their books…A kleptomaniac to watch their homes while on vacation… I mean everyone deserves a second chance right?… Maybe they should lead by example..

 

[24and7]

So what are they saying?… All felons are “people of color”?… They aren’t gonna sue for the white felons, too?…Sounds like even worse discrimination..

Equity versus equality. Disparate outcome, a way around making felons a protected class.

If a felon wants a job, they can always go the Postal Service. They don't screen.

I see Sheetz up in the Carolinas, always clean and well managed, they seem to be the east coast QT.

KDKA...I had no idea there were stations east of the Mississippi with station names starting with a K. Can't be many.

Passed by a lot of Sheetz going through Pennsylvania a few years back. I told my wife it must be what you get after you eat any of their food.

Random observation, but a good one.

Several years ago I found out that WCSC here in town is one of the few stations that has call letters that represent the area. WRAL up in Raleigh is another.

Seriously. Is this true? I'm assuming you are talking about criminal background checks. I'd also assume they DO conduct driver screening? IE: Has you license been suspended in the last seven years and so on...

They are also in W.V. and some parts of Ohio.

Tens of thousands of Postal employees don't drive on the job. Sort facilities, HQ, etc.

Okay. I wasn't think any farther than the branches. I'd think those behind the counter started off driving; don't know.

I do know that routes out of Summerville ... those carriers have to sort their mail each morning.

They screen, there’s a background check. My Mother is a Post Master

 

[TerryP]

I'm curious.

After the tepid reception he received on that photo op the other day ... do you find the timing a little odd?

Happy to hear that. The background check process is demonstrably broken, and it's unbelievably behind. USPS proceeds with hiring ahead of the background investigation, particularly seasonal hires. Gang members populate regional sort facilities and have stolen an untold number of checks being shipped from the check printer to the customer. Even though the number of checks written are less than one-sixth the number when items peaked around 1992, the volume of check fraud has risen exponentially and continues to rise.

Nothing moves that quickly.

I understand the "investigation" isn't new. I'd have to find the article; want to say it first came up before the last administration (Obama's term.)

They may proceed with hires ahead of the background in some places

That's a pretty safe bet. With over 600,000 employees, I'm sure someone got it right at least once.

Yes only once
