Having once worked while in school as a grunt for a sub contractor working on the USPS HQ for the Chicago area, I'm going to have to say no.
I did get a real kick out of reading the union complaints though. You see almost no one would be in their cubes, well 2 of these cubes were off to the side and were apparently the union complaint area. So while their cube farm was empty as they were doing whatever it is they do when not working, which was most of the day as far as I could tell, I read threw the stack of complaints.Apparently the biggest issue is everyone is racist against blacks at the USPS this includes union members who's bosses were black, their same race bosses were also racist. I could go on for a while about the fun there.
The only thing that amazed me after working there a summer was that ANY mail gets anywhere. If you look behind the giant sorting machines you can see a few dozen letters covered in dust.
So the USPS does get the job done, its hardly efficient. Glad they are raising postage costs again though.

That's a Chicago Union problem. Since moving up here, I've started to learn that. I am physically unable to move coolers onto the back of our truck in order to put frozen product in, because that is a union job. The problem is, the union workers never do it. What happens is frozen goods then sit all night (and weekend) and are of poor quality by the time the customer gets it.
Unions are killing Chicago, that's a different story than this.
