USPS workers fired for sleeping on job

By Around the Web

(New York Daily News) Ten Long Island USPS workers were fired Friday for sleeping on the graveyard shift, sources said.

Instead of repairing mail trucks, U.S. Postal Service employees at the Hicksville Maintenance Facility allegedly napped. Then lied about completing the fixes, sending potentially unsafe vehicles onto the road, an anonymous employee told Newsday.

Special agents raided the 24-hour facility early Friday, took photos of sleepers and then woke them up and fired them. Investigators started working on the case in June 2013, based on an anonymous tip.
