Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said today during his testimony that he has not cut postal workers' overtime. But an internal USPS document show how policy changes prohibit "extra" or "late" trips and mandating that carriers "return on time.

SaveThePost You love telling bullshit.

kurtbardella Please suggest that voters use Drop Boxes. So far, I haven’t heard that they’re trying to compromise this method. Otherwise, use “Early Voting”. Many states offer the ability to look up online for wait times.

Oddly doesn’t report that it’s the USPS union financial mismanagement that’s gotten them into financial difficulties— repeatedly.

mattalley413 Prosecute for perjury

All states should do what Washington State did and put their sorting machines back on line!!!

Ru-Roh, it appears someone lied under oath.

You guys.... he wasn’t talking about overtime hours. You have got to start paying attention! Your jobs isn’t that hard! Come on, You can do it!

My USPS delivery person who is great told me that. They couldn’t staff enough for all routes so current delivery folks got paid overtime to fill those routes and always get the mail out that day. No overtime means mail can’t get delivered. Routes can’t get serviced. He lied

Overtime = higher costs and greater losses

Charge DeJoy with perjury if the evidence shows it. No time for fooling around. No deference to administration lies.

Throw him in prison for perjury, no waiting...

Keep his feet to the fire.

Surprise. He lied. It’s what the trump administration does. It’s all they do.

My uncle works for post office. He has worked overtime for many years. This year his overtime was cut.

Lying to Congress is a crime!

Let's not split hairs. Memo: 'POT will be eliminated. This is not cost effective and it will be taken away.' DeJoy: 'We never eliminated overtime. It's not been curtailed by me or the leadership team.' I don't know about you but in my world DeJoy lied.

Anyone that knows business when a company is struggling overtime is the first to get cut. I'd just love to see the retirement packages the government has to balance their books as they forced the postal service to do to balance theirs. They will always be upside down hb the gov.

Overtime is not included in regular hours... 🤦🏻‍♂️

Overtime is different to regular time.

So that means he lied to the Senate.

Trump being president puts garbage in positions of power that destroys our communities. Vote early for Biden-Harris.

Contradicting or lying? Call it what it is.

People must understand what he's doing to USPS is hurting them NOW. The mail delay causes bill payments to arrive late (if at all). Late payments impact your credit score. It can cause an increase in past-due fees, interest rates, or denial of rental applications. He must go.

40 hour work week not cut,statement was true. Fake news

A Trump appointee lies. What a surprise.

Any industry that relies heavily on OT is not correctly staffed. Employees working excessive OT for prolonged periods of time are less effective and subject to commit more errors.

Apparently everybody with two or more brain cells knew deJoy was going to lie his way through his Congress 'investigation.' Is there even one single person in Congress with BALLS who understands deJoy MUST BE JAILED

Good guys finish last. Trump may not win with all the lies spread by the MSM and Democrats.

Limiting overtime is not cutting hours.

Well something went wrong. I received 15+ pieces of mail yesterday.

He lied. Lock him up.

What a lying ass. Glad these docs are surfacing before his House testimony!

msnbc lies every single day of the year always, they lied to your face about russian collusion they surpress the corruption by obama , biden and hillary, they're scum

You expected the truth?

Overtime is not regular hours by definition.

My very on mail lady told me that they hired extra workers so full timers like her don't get overtime. She is a retired vet.

Like I said he lied. LOCKHISASSUPNOW

In 40hrs your work should be done mitigating over time is not cutting your hours. Fake news!

Yes, he must be taking lessons from Barr. 'No, I did not eliminate overtime'. When he ordered specific rules which, when followed, ended overtime. Call him back?

So upset by this dismantling of our postal service!

So what are SpeakerPelosi RepAdamSchiff RepJerryNadler going to do? Why weren’t the payroll records there at the proceedings to counter what he said? Why are democrats constantly playing the catch up game and not holding these people accountable, this is perjury

lynnyoga What a shocker, lies from the Trump administration of their reps.

The Postmaster General lies and seems to be more afraid of what Trump might do than of the Congress of the US. The sabotage of the USPS and the upcoming election continues.

Isn't that purgury?

He lies like a dog, or a pres!

Give it up, total waste of time

Say it....he is Lying under Oath!

You SHOULD send in your ballots by Mail.. statistically 30% will end up in the landfill.

Cause he’s a liar like Trump no surprise

They are still working it in my location. And my mail is ontime

UROCKlive1 He perjured himself

I knew he was lying.

Technically he is correct. No “regular pay” hours were cut. OT is not considered normal hours. If he tried to cut normal hours the Union would not allow it.

A Trump official lying? What a shock.

Are full time workers still getting 30-40 hours a week? Cutting overtime isn’t technically cutting hours so long as they’re still getting full time hours. It is OVERTIME which is considered temporary.

Everybody knows exactly what they are doing and they are allowed to continue...it’s disgusting.

DeJoyLIES

Holding employees to 40 hours per week is not cutting hours. You’re not entitled to overtime.

PostmasterGeneral

Wait, do you mean ANOTHER realDonaldTrump appointment LIED to Congress 🤯 SHOCKED 😳, shocked I’m not

Why does that not surprise me. I got a survey from MAGA committee and it’s postage paid envelope added stamps. Even they know what’s happening

If they can show he lied, under oath, charge him. At some point there needs to be a penalty for lying

The whole lot of them, the Post Office Governors, DeJoy, Meadows, Mnuchin, Graham, Trump, Pence, Jared, Navarro, Stepien, McDaniel, and anyone else who had a hand in this should go to jail. If not over this, then what would it take?

I guess that makes him a liar.

So why are the sorting machines unplugged? Just plug them in. Where is the powerful APWUnational ? There is NO WAY Trump is going to walk around the country just to see if workers are obeying his dumb ass. PLUG IN THE MACHINES AND DO YOUR JOBS. Nov 3 will pass b4 consequences.

Aren’t normal work hours (i.e. 40 hrs/wk) different from OT? Or do y’all just not care to think too hard.

he needs to be recalled to clarify these statements, he should bring an attorney.

Of course he was going to go in there and lie his head off. Trump's instructions would have been 'just tell them what they want to hear'. Dems got done.

There hours were not cut. They are cutting overtime in a money losing operation. Obviously you never ran a business. When you are in the red you have to save money everywhere you can.

No, you all ask the wrong questions, worded the wrong way. He said he didn't cut out overtime. So as long as 1 employee gets 1 he of overtime... He didn't lie under oath. Dems have to learn how to phrase the questions. Same type thing happened during impeachment trial.

No federal employee should have even an hour of overtime.

Just another trump official committing perjury, just another day. Only way for justice is to vote Biden in November.

He LIED? To Congress? Isn’t that a felony?

So he lied...can he go to jail now?

And then he got tired and did not come back for round 2. trump never showed up before anyone to defend himself. I will NEVER forget Hillary sitting there hour upon hour to answer all the questions. It’s true...”you could have had a bad bitch”.
