Friends rally
to keep popular window clerk’s job
Peter
Avallone, who has worked for the Postal Service since 1988 and in
Brookside since 2003, said he was informed two weeks ago by Postmaster
Rita Schmidt, that the Postal Service wanted to move excess employees
from other branches to work at Brookside. Because Avallone has part-time
status, his job was in jeopardy and he was given the choice of either
being a mail carrier or having his hours cut, potentially to only
one hour a week.

number of postal delivery days from six to five as a way to save
his cash-strapped agency up to $3.5 billion annually -- a proposal
that seems acceptable to most Americans.
