39% of mail truck drivers open Christmas mail each year.
The FBI is starting to do stings where they put gift cards into suspects mail bags and then arrest them when they use the cards.

Word on street is that speaking of oil tycoons, soon that will include the conversion of waste oil into edible oil as they do in China.

Why are you down on Walter. He has a job. It pays way more than minimum wage. He gets lots of fringe benefits
Post office fringe benefits
Compensation
In addition to competitive basic pay rates and regular salary increases, depending on the type of job held, most employees may also receive overtime pay, night shift differential, and Sunday premium pay.
Health Insurance
The Postal Service participates in the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program, which provides excellent coverage and flexibility with most of the cost paid by the Postal Service. There are many plans available, including Fee-For-Service, Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) and High Deductible & Consumer-Driven Health Plans. Employee premium contributions are not subject to most taxes, making health insurance even more affordable.
Dental and Vision Insurance
Employees are eligible to participate in the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP). While employees pay the full cost, this group insurance offers excellent coverage at rates made even more affordable because premium contributions are not subject to taxes.
Flexible Spending Accounts
Career employees may participate in the Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) Program after one year of service. Tax-free FSA contributions can be used to cover most out-of-pocket health care and dependent care (daycare expenses).
Long-Term Care Insurance
Employees may enroll in the Federal Long-Term Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP), which insures for the costs of receiving long-term care (e.g., nursing home or assisted living), which typically is not covered by health insurance or Medicare.
Retirement
The Postal Service participates in the federal retirement program, which provides a defined benefit (pension), as well as disability coverage. Eligibility is determined by your age and number of years of creditable service.
Thrift Savings Plan
Career postal employees may contribute to the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), which is similar to 401(k) retirement savings plans offered by private sector employers. Employees contribute to TSP on a tax-deferred basis, and may receive automatic and matching contributions (up to 5 percent of pay) from the Postal Service.
Social Security & Medicare
Newly hired postal employees are covered under Social Security and Medicare.
Life Insurance
The Postal Service offers coverage through the Federal Employees’ Group Life Insurance (FEGLI) Program. The cost of Basic coverage is fully paid by the Postal Service, with the option to purchase additional coverage through payroll deductions.
Commuter Program
This program offers tax-free purchase of public transportation and parking, up to IRS maximums, to reduce out-of-pocket costs for employees who choose to participate.
Leave
The Postal Service offers generous annual (vacation) and sick leave – 13 days of annual leave per year for the first 3 years, increasing to 20 days per year after 3 years of service, and to 26 days per year after 15 years of service. In addition, full-time employees earn 4 hours per pay period as insurance against loss of income due to illness or accident. Annual and sick leave is prorated based on paid hours for part-time employees.
WSD has been with the post office doing yo mens amount of work and gets all that Vacation Time
Effective October 6, 2012, Postmasters, supervisory and managerial employees, and non-career employees converted to those positions, who have no prior federal or USPS service that is creditable toward the leave computation date, receive 10 days of annual leave per year for the first 5 years, increasing to 15 days per year after 5 years, and to 20 days per year after 15 years. In addition, employees earn 3 hours per pay period as insurance against loss of income due to illness or accident. Annual and sick leave is prorated based on paid hours for part-time employees.
Holidays The Postal Service observes 10 holidays each year.
Career Development & Training
The Postal Service offers a learning environment that reinforces success through training initiatives that allow employees to improve basic operational knowledge and gain leadership skills. Executive-level development is provided through a comprehensive multi-level program designed for those executives meeting certain high-performance criteria.

You must think I'm an USAmerican. All citizens with a job for 1 year here get 4 weeks annual leave plus 11 public holidays, 5 paid sick days, women get 26 weeks paid parental leave from the government and health care is a government tax so it's 'free'. If you are injured you get 80% of your last months income for a year while you recover, which is also government funded.
That's everyone with any job, including postal service. In fact they probably get better than that because it's state owned. I know prison guards get 8 weeks leave and 10 sick days, so it wouldn't surprise me.

26 days annual leave, 13 sick days, 10 public holidays and 84 unpaid leave days is what career bargaining unit workers get. Only 66% of your regular wage after 45 days though. The leave benefits are better than the auto plants but the pay isn't as good. The stability is what makes it work.
