I work at USPS and rural carriers are paid on evaluated time. While some locations don’t get many packages because Amazon has taken the load off with their own contractors, many offices have to make multiple trips because of the package load which essentially means USPS workers in those rural offices are working for free on those second trips. The package load is a real problem.

Can you explain “evaluated time”? Where does the unpaid labor come in?

Each route is given an estimated time to complete. The postal worker is paid based on that time, not the actual time worked. If they take less time they go home early for the same pay, if they take longer...
