Former contracted USPS employee says he was terminated after filing whistleblower complaint

BELGRADE — A former United States Postal Service (USPS) contracted employee is claiming he was terminated after filing a whistleblower complaint against the Belgrade post office.

“I’m out here protesting because I don’t have my money that I earned, that they rightfully owe me, and on top of that, I want the post office to be held accountable,” says John Whittaker.

Whittaker is a Belgrade resident, who after experiencing many issues with the mail service, decided to join the team and see if he could help.

“And I think they sabotaged me. They were willfully and deliberately hiding packages and hiding cages when I was trying to sort them out,” Whittaker claims.

John was hired by a USPS contractor—and only worked for six days before filing a whistleblower complaint about the treatment by Belgrade staff.

“There was such discord and the supervision was poor. Many of the employees, postal employees, whenever they were walking by me, would curse, and some of them were damn near in tears,” he says
