North Alabama mail carriers say they’re stretched thin as demand outpaces resources

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Shrinking resources, rising demand and a shortage of workers are straining local post offices, leaving mail carriers to pick up the slack.

The issue is playing out at post offices across the region, including in Harvest, Owens Cross Roads, Athens and parts of Huntsville.

From intense heat to heavy packages and a steady overload of mail, postal workers told FOX54 that long days that have become part of the job, which they say has turned into an “impossible situation.”
