Mail Aid
by
Pam Amado and Carl Imboden
This is a rotten time to be a postal worker. Electronic communication is diminishing our mail stream while our managers attempt to outsource and automate our jobs. What we need is Mail Aid, an increase in the mail stream that simultaneously provides us with more work and slows our society's rush to a paperless world. In the absence of any rock stars to hold a Mail Aid concert, we'll have to create the change ourselves through the way we interact with the Post Office as consumers. Your purchasing power could save some postal worker his job--it might even save your job--so please carefully consider some questions about your spending habits.

Hello, Dear Reader.
You've probably received this letter because you know a postal worker. It's a bad time to work for the United States Postal Service (USPS), because electronic communication and a downsliding economy are reducing the mail stream while postal managers simultaneously scheme to replace us with machines. They'll even use machines that don't deliver mail as well as we do, provided the machine is cheaper than we are.
