SimpleG Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Just in case people are not aware Oshkosh decided to move the vehicle plant to South Carolina where surprise surprise , it will be built non union. “Oshkosh Defense has a history of manufacturing trucks for government service in Wisconsin with skilled union labor, so, I remain deeply concerned that they decided to manufacture the postal trucks in what appears to be a newly acquired facility with inexperienced, likely non-union hires, in South Carolina. I have pressed Oshkosh Defense’s leadership about this decision, and I am pressing the U.S. Postal Service for more information about what drove it. I will also continue to urge Oshkosh Defense and the USPS to further scrutinize the final production location in South Carolina based on the strength of Oshkosh’s existing union workforce in Wisconsin. I want these trucks made in Wisconsin.” U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does everyone shit on bread lines? You get out of the house, which is always nice, and then at the end you have delicious bread. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakoo Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I hope this improves shipping cost because USPS on international stuff is just nuts (sometimes 2x even ups) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I hope this means we can get air mail from Japan again. CDJapan opened it up sometime last year but shut it down again. And I'm not paying DHL $30 to ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Have the usps run like a business. And that business specifically is private Japanese train companies that own and rent out land around stations in order to subsidize (in part) the transportation system.
