I cant seem to register for a new user account on your forums... why is that?

Hello, I just wanted some help if possible. So I recently got offered a mail handler position at USPS for the holidays and would like to know if there was a way to be offered a full time position? Any help I can get I would appreciate it. Thanks

I paid for a subscription over 3months ago and I have never been able to log in. I was told it was a temporary issue that would be resolved. My paid subscription is useless. Can I have a refund?

How does a cherished and oh so necessary (for many Americans who haven't gone totally electronic) service become threatened? Millions of Americans use and want the USPS.

LEG problems after 30 years with the USPS as a mail carrier

OK Anyone know address to mail form for civilian buyback/and military buy back for Usps employees ? TIA

In an effort to stop the harassments and have it documented, I have given considerable thought to the wearing of a body cam, police grade , as a means to document and present the consistent verbal abuse and harassment towards me from other employees. What is the ruling regarding this ? I would appreciate a response with cited sources as my agency is planning on re-opening and I do not, feel safe within that work environ.
