Montana Could See Big Mail Problems Soon
This news could spell trouble in Montana.
Montana Mail Problems
It's been a growing problem.
The United States Postal Service has been going through challenges recently.
Many residents in Montana have had trouble receiving or sending mail in the past few years.
Why?
The USPS is short-handed across the state and finding employees has been difficult.
Many of these employees work long hours and cover massive areas.
People have received other people's mail or mail is returned even with the correct addresses.
It's been a frustrating time for many locals.
Will we see any solution soon?
It doesn't appear that will happen, and it might get worse.

USPS Union Rejects Proposal
USA Today reports that the National Association of Letter Carriers rejected an agreement with the USPS.
One important part of the agreement involved wage increases.
The union believes the suggested wage increase of 1.3% is low and should be higher.
Other issues include benefits like days off and the cost of uniforms.
Why is this a massive problem?
If both sides cannot agree on a proposal, postal workers could go on strike.
This would be a major problem for people who use the USPS for their businesses, bills, and important documentation.
Both sides are trying to agree to terms quickly because this rejected proposal was only supposed to last until late 2026.
Both sides want to find a long-term solution because a short-term agreement will have more issues in a year.
There's still time for this agreement to come together, but the clock is ticking.
