In reply to the discussion: Washington Postal Workers Defy USPS Orders And Reinstall Mail Sorting Machines [View all]droidamus2
(1,699 posts)58. Not buying it
Why the rush to get the machines out and then destroying them as soon as possible especially with the high probability of a universal vote by mail presidential election. If they were no longer needed they could have been pulled but left near their sorting center in case they were needed for the election. Its just like with removing the mail boxes in certain places. Why the big hurry even if they are being underutilized it doesn't hurt anything to leave them in place until after the election. Here's hoping that more centers ignore DeJoy and reinstall the machines. Somebody should be contacting the manufacturer to see if any missing parts can be acquired.
