Yesterday afternoon, Laura McClellan brought a bit of news to the public's attention in a social media post on Facebook, that has yet to be unrefuted by the local newspaper, known affectionately/disgustedly here as the City of Ludington Daily News (COLDNews).  In an emotional post she stated:

She added some details:

Drivers, carriers, and those who knew both commented on her post or elsewhere talking about how the COLDNews handled this conversion to USPS by axing their employees without telling them the news until the last minute:  

And sure enough, in this weekend's newspaper the COLDNews let us in on their new direction, just in case the employees they just canned wanted to read more on the last day of work for most of them.

Everybody knows the way you treat the many diligent, long-term workers you appreciate is to let them go at a moments notice.  Nothing says appreciation like wondering where you'll find a replacement job at the end of summer so that you don't default on your house payment.  This newspaper business is so COLD that they even ran these ads in yesterday's paper, saying they need drivers and carriers-- when they just informed the public and those very carriers and drivers that they will not be needed anymore.  

Nowhere in their article is there any indication of how this move will specifically improve your service, so let others know in the following days if it either improves or gets worse.  Please, respectfully if you can, let these jackbooted thugs know how you feel about their latest move, the drivers they ran over, the newsboys and newsgirls who were thrown under the bus.

You might want to leave a review on their Facebook site, or send them a letter via their e-mail:   ldn@ludingtondailynews.com.
