Postal Worker Day is observed annually on July 1st. This is a day to appreciate and thank the numerous men and women who work consistently and diligently deliver all of our mail and packages. These employees suffer some of the harshest working conditions, yet continue to persevere six days a week.
“The USPS is so deeply ingrained in America’s history, commerce stream and quality of life that we can easily take it for granted,” says Dennis P. LeStrange, Neopost USA’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “But we shouldn’t ever forget the benefits we derive from the nation’s postal workers. The USPS as an institution deserves to be recognized for its steadfast dedication to delivery, social responsibility, security, technology and innovation.
Postal workers walk an average of 4 to 8 miles carrying a full load of letters and packages and delivering them promptly to each of our doorsteps. There are approximately 490,000 postal workers across the United States.
Take time to thank your local postal worker. Encourage others to get the word out and make every postal worker’s day.
