I know that a lot of bullying goes on behind closed doors at the sorting offices around the country, and people working in the postal service should not have to endure abysmal working conditions. <br />There is no excuse for dishonesty however, and employees tampering with the mail need to be held accountable.Sue's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443099773350583724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590182703663373843.post-46341439857637861902010-02-04T15:13:18.215+00:002010-02-04T15:13:18.215+00:00There's a long tradition of postal mishaps.
