The Wall To Nowhere- Cape Girardeau Has A Budget?

Posted on by 21cpw User Post

cg_nightWith managers grumbling about the moratorium that has put a monkey wrench in their plan to abandon the notion of quality mail service in Southeast Missouri, we have found the funds to build a wall. This wall closes off a good percentage of the workroom floor. We hear it is to accommodate the AC unit that hasn’t worked properly in years… Less space to cool.

Our lot is unsecured because we have a gate that hasn’t worked for years because we don’t have the budget to fix it. We have endured 90+ degree temps because we don’t have the budget to fix the AC.

Perhaps the wall will serve as a mural to commemorate when we served our rural US customers with pride?

    Just to put this into perspective:

    In 2000, the Cape Girardeau P&DF more than doubled the size of the building to accommodate our rapidly-growing package, letter and flat volume. The wall that is being constructed cuts off most of that added floor space. Last night, the sheetrock material was in place on one of the two walls that will form a right angle, sealing off the added space. The tray-sorter and 2 of the DBCS machines are in the sealed off area. Yesterday, we had temps in the mid-eighties… it isn’t even really hot yet and it was miserably hot working on those machines.

    God forbid someone become a heat casualty because someone in management wants to “help facilitate” the remaining employees decision to retire or transfer out.
