LiteBlue Honors Its Own
The Post Office has a long history of serving the nation. Carrying the mail has not always been easy. Many carriers had to carry rifles and pistols to ward off stage coach robbers. Mary Fields knew how to handle a gun. Fortunately laws have been made to protect Mail Carriers and the mail.

Schedule ‘A’ – What is a Reasonable Accommodation
Reasonable accommodations may include making existing facilities easily accessible by individuals with a disability, modifying work schedules, refashioning a job, modifying examinations, training or similar programs. Agencies are not required to lower standards as an accommodation to the disabled but must make ‘Reasonable Accomodations’ to provide a Schedule “A” appointee with access and ability to perform the work their job requires.
The ADA and Barriers To Employment
Before the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), many Americans were denied access not only to employment, but transportation, public accommodations, public services and telecommunication.
