Post Office Needs Staff

The post office in town has had to close early. And this is not the 1^st time. Lynda Benwell, Postmaster at the Kahnawake Post Office:

“Today, we’re very short staffed and therefore we’ll have to be closing early, at 4 o’clock and tomorrow we’ll be back to normal.”

 Benwell says there’s a lack of interest in employment at the post office:

“We need to have more people applying. There was a recent contest that was happening, but I don’t think we got a very good response. So, we’re stuck, short staffed and there’s also a shortage of occasional workers throughout the company. So, when we’re in this situation, we have no choice:  have to close early.”

Benwell’s solution that would keep the post office open:

“So, everyone, apply!”
