Why Postal Worker Day?

This day is dedicated to all the Workers who strive hard to deliver the post. Postal Workers use to carry heavy loads and travel more than 10 miles to deliver the post. Surprisingly in the past, they use to deliver distinctive packages. In around 1913, the postal service was ordered to deliver to themaximum of 11 pounds. One such distinctive delivery was a kid. Unusual deliveries were continued for more than a year and those dreadful days of postal workers could not be explained in words.

They use to walk in all weather conditions with a full luggage of letters and post. Due to this expansion to 11 pounds, their life became dolorous. After more than a year, the Government noticed the concerns and several severe laws were enforced to regulate the Postal deliveries and several items like sending a kid through a post and other mere underweight items were prohibited.
