Rats reported feeding on packages of rotted fruit and meat as postmaster general's cutbacks unleash [View all]

chaos at California's mail centers

Employees at mail sorting facilities across California are reporting padlocked sorting machines, mountains of untouched mail, and rodent-infested packages as they struggle with widespread cutbacks in staffing and equipment.

Postal workers and union leaders have told the Los Angeles Times that the recent cutbacks recently imposed by the postal service have caused major delays at facilities across the state.

At one facility in Santa Claris, employees discovered that their sorting machines had been padlocked or disabled.

Workers at another mail-sorting hub in South Los Angeles reported seeing gnats and rodents picking apart containers of fruit and meat that had been left to rot.
