The problem with the Post Office is not primarily its unions, but rather that it is a odd mixture of private and public that largely has the worst features of both.  It is somehow expected to turn a profit (or at least not lose money) yet it is unable to set its own prices or determine where it will have its facilities, or select its operating hours.  None of those impediments are the fault of the unions.  There is no rational reason to maintain universal six day delivery and pickup of the mail. Indeed, given how unimportant the mail is for quick communication these days, three days a week (either MWF or TÞS depending on location) would be sufficient for first class mail to households, with those who feel they need six day delivery having the option of renting a PO Box or paying a fee for the extra service.
