For years, the Roger's Park Post Office has been a major failure in management (as documented here in the news section) in spite of multiple attempts by citizens like myself and public officials to rectify the erroneous and now dangerous lack of mail delivery from this particular location. 

I have been working on this issue during this past month of November, 2020. I have collected some resources for my neighbors and also the general public, as the USPS agency has really taken a hard turn for the worse. 

THIS TIME IT'S PERSONAL.

    we seem to get our mail one to two times a week now - maybe three times if our mailman is feeling super generous about his time. It is pathetic!

Starting to feel like the Titanic Lady

  "It's been 35 days..." each day that goes by, this situation ages me a little more, and I feel as if I am fighting a fog with my fists. No one is responding, no one is reaching out to me or my neighbors about my mail. Let's review:  35 Days without regular mail delivery (I've received 5 piece of mail in the past month) 5 packages currently in purgatory 7 USPS Customer service cases since 11/15 (all "resolved!" on their end) 5 Daily phone calls for the past two weeks. No answer. No response.  This afternoon I was on the radio talking to Anna Davlantes on WGN 720 radio. Since the media has quieted down on the issue, the mail has slowed down again. Although the Roger's Park Post Office has claimed to hire 8-10 new carriers, quick train and deploy them, they will be ready, (I'm assuming) to start working just as the holiday mail surge happens. Then we are backed up by a month, not getting current, daily mail, and will be expecting holiday mail... w

Roger's Park Post Office Informal Resident Responses Email

 This morning I sent the following email to many employees of the USPS, local and state politicians, media, and residents who asked to be included.  I will put the presentation with the responses in a separate post.  To Whom It May Concern-  Hello, my name is Pauline Scott and I am a Chicago resident that has had years of issues with their mail from the Roger's Park Post Office. I was in contact with many of you last November and December of 2020. I did not receive any mail for over a month and after all normal USPS protocols failed, I reached out to my local politicians and media. There were hundreds of neighbors with similar issues in my community. To get a better understanding I created a Google questionnaire and sent it to my neighbors to see how these issues affected those around me. This questionnaire received 132 responses from 12/11/20-12/21/20. The report will show how clearly this particular location has failed it's residents.  Attached to this email you will find two

For my birthday I got mail

Image
Wednesday, 12/9 was my birthday, so I decided I’d try to take a break from fighting the Goliath that is USPS. Unfortunately, it was the day the USPS started responding to me regarding my various emails I sent to the leadership. Apparently, I must have finally touched the right nerve- because the past two days have been full of higher ups calling me.  Tuesday, 12/8 at ~6:30 pm, I received a phone call from Wanda Prater, the Post Master and Randy Stine, District Manager. These people were on the top of my “fire them” list, not only because of these past few weeks, but the years of issues Schakowsky has noted many times. Their phone call consisted of clarifying the issues and what exactly they were doing about it- but specifically in regards to my case. Randy Stine was quiet for most of the phone call, so it was mostly Ms Prater explaining her resolutions to the issues. A rundown of what she said: Wanda Prater, Post Master 1. She was at the Rogers Park Post office for ~12 hours a day, try
