Patrick Donahoe, the postmaster general, is facing opposition from all sides while trying to restructure the US Postal Service. Ever since new union leadership was elected, even the Postal Service employees have been nothing but trouble. Much of the new leadership claims that Donahoe is trying to destroy the Postal Service and they have called for his removal from the position. The irony of the situation is that the very union leaders who take issue with Donahoe trying to make the USPS profitable again pleaded with a judge to have the prior union leadership turn over the membership?s email addresses, because ?it was ?expensive? to send letters on paper?.
