Doesn't sound like a bad deal to me. What's the top pay rate?

CP doesn't make it easy to use the sick days. It's not like we can just use them whenever we want.
There is currently no top rate. Everybody gets the same pay.
I've seen about a dozen letter carriers struggle from age 50-60+ and I'm not so sure I envy their retirement when they have so many injuries that they can't enjoy it. The final 5 years or so for a lot of retirees is a real struggle.
