Mail carriers say the USPS is making it hard to take sick leave in the coronavirus pandemic, contrary to its public claims
On April 30, the United States Postal Service said that it had "updated our leave policies to allow liberal use of leave" during the coronavirus pandemic.
One carrier in Massachusetts said his coworker, who had direct contact with a coronavirus patient, was told he could go back to work. The carrier in California, who works in a station outside Stockton, said he has yet to be paid for the 14 days he recently took off after a coworker tested positive for the coronavirus and he started feeling sick himself.
While that coworker was on the phone to his doctor, trying to figure out what to do, he received a call from a manager at the station saying he could return to work. He said the day after he learned about the coworker getting sick, he came down with a mild fever, fatigue, and started showing redness in his legs and eyes.
