On March 18, 1970, history was made in America. Thousands of New York City postal workers expressed their frustration with Congress by simply refusing to work. Even though the strike was birthed in New York, postal workers from many other states also shared the same anger and concerns. Despite the miles that separated them, nearly 200,000 postal workers from 30 major cities joined the strike. Prior to 1970, the United States Postal Service was known as Post Office Department and was also managed by the federal government. Any changes, concerns, or suggestions had to be reported and passed through Congress. Congress acted very slowly to improve any concerns they had, so the American Postal Workers Union, AFL-CIO, had their work cut out for them.…

However, Congress passed the Postal Act of 1851 which made delivering letters to 3,000 miles away inexpensive. It had made it more convenient for people to deliver letters to one another from long distances so they might hear from their loved ones sooner. Also, Americans were able to live further away from family and friends as the America had expanded westward past the Mississippi River. Slaves could not enjoy the right to deliver letters to loved ones or friend mostly because it was illegal for them to be literate. So illiterate slaves would deliver letters with the aid of white men to avoid being caught by their masters although they knew of and disliked this practice.…
When it comes to special education, discipline is a major concern in this area because many students are incessantly being expelled for their behavior issues that are caused by their disabilities. With the previous law students were excluded from school and received long suspension time because of their behavioral problems but when the new law was passed in 2004 students that are disable, is entitle to a free appropriate education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and can no longer be expel from school if their behavior is due to their disability. With the new law, students can no longer be suspended for more than 10 days during a school term for behavioral issues and 45 days for weapon and illegal drugs. A Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) should be included within the special need students Individualized Education Plan (IEP) at the beginning of each school year so that the general education teachers is aware of the students behavioral problems and is able to handle them before the student get out of hand and the other students learning is disruptive. If students know what is expected of them in the beginning, I believe that they will try to keep their behavior under control especially when they are in a more controlled and structure classroom.…
omehow, somewhere along the way, the McDonald’s coffee lawsuit became the poster child for frivolous lawsuits. Who hasn’t taken a crack at this lawsuit for the sake of furthering their own cause? David Letterman and numerous other comedians have exploited this case as the punch-line to countless jokes.1 One of my favorite Seinfeld episodes involves Cosmo Kramer suing Java World after Kramer spills a cup of café latté on himself while trying to get a seat at a movie theater.2 Kramer suffers from minor burns that are easily remedied after a single application of a balm given to Kramer by the Maestro. Kramer asks…
The 95 percent confidence interval is (Z = 1.96) (n =31634) (σ = 272.84) 108.496 < Population Mean < 114.5094 The variation of the mean is not very large (+-3.01), so sample mean can be assumed to be representative of population mean. Number of offline users: 27781, x1 = 110.79, σ1 = 271.301 Number of online users: 3853, x2 = 116.67 σ2 = 283.66 Z = (x1-x2)-(µ1-µ2)/Sqrt(σ12/n1+σ22/n2) Null Hypothesis: µ1= µ2 Alternative Hypothesis: µ1 =! µ2 Z = -1.212 and Z-critical at 5% level of significance is +-1.96. Since Z lies in acceptance region, the null hypothesis is not rejected. Hence, there is no significant difference in profitability of online and offline users. We run a regression run using online/offline being the independent variable and profitability being the dependent variable. The output summary is: Regression Statistics 0.00705 Multiple R 4.97E-05 R Square 1.81E-05 ` Adjusted R Square 272.8369 Standard Error 31634 Observations ANOVA Df SS MS F Significance F 1 117039.3 117039.3 1.572264 0.209887815 Regression 31632 2.35E+09 74439.99 Residual 31633 2.35E+09 Total Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-value 110.7862 1.636956 67.67821 0 Intercept 5.880591 4.689842 1.253899 0.209888 X Variable 1 R Square value is very low indicating low predictability of the model. F-value analysis is unable to reject null hypothesis even at level of significance of 0.2. T-stat also is unable to reject the null hypothesis. These indicate that there is no significant cause and effect relation between online/offline user and their profitability. To find the relation between the demographics of the customer and their profitability, we perform a regression analysis. To enable regression analysis, following steps are taken: 1) Independent variables are online/offline, age, Income, tenure and district. 2) Online/offline and age groups are well recoded as numbers. 3) Income and district are not recoded well. For e.g.: Income bucket 2 is…

The United States Postal Service has gone through some major changes in the past twenty-five years due to the increase in popularity of technologies such as email, fax machines, the internet and mobile phones. Sending letters and paying bills using the traditional method of using stamps no longer became the preferred method of sending correspondence. The postal service realized that major changes needed to be made and therefore decided to implement a quality improvement program utilizing the balanced scorecard approach. The following paragraphs summarize my thoughts and conclusions on their improvement process using the “voice” of the customer, employee and business.…
Because the United States Postal Service is a federal organization, conducting mail fraud in New York or elsewhere in the country is a federal crime. If you are convicted, it can lead to extremely serious consequences. However, five conditions have to be met before an act is considered mail fraud, according to the Cornell University Law School’s Legal Information Institute.…
