Postal workers, too, need a snow break!

Kudos to The Free Lance-Star for putting the safety and well-being of their employees above the "need" for people to have a newspaper in their hands.

I so wish that all businesses were as concerned.

My husband has been a mail carrier for 25 years. I have always been amazed at the lack of concern for the postal workers.

No matter what the weather, they are expected to try to make it in, the excuse being the desire of mail patrons to receive their mail.

Yes, there are those who call to find out why they are not getting mail in neighborhoods that have not been plowed!

I have always been understanding of the fact that people, not robots, deliver the mail and paper each day.

Surely, folks can make it a few days without a newspaper or some advertisements or bills in the mailbox. Maybe they need to get a hobby to help pass the time.
