Michael Benning reports:
The United States Post Office is responding to a story aired on WLTX where two women say they were delivered employees’ personal information.
Friday, Anne Clarkson and Sam Ruskin told us they had received a receipt in the mail last week for an outgoing package. On the back of the receipt was what looks like an old time card dated 2004 from the Post Office. Two people’s names are provided along with their social security numbers. Original Story: Women Say Post Office Made Huge Error
News 19 spoke with one of the women whose name and Social Security number was on that time card Monday. She wasn’t interested in talking about the matter.
Here is a statement we’ve received from Greater South Carolina District Communications Director Harry Spratlin:
We sincerely regret this error and any concern it may cause the public.
However, since document in question was an internal form that affected two Postal employees, the public should not be affected. The initiative to re-use paper in this manner is not a part of Postal operations, but rather, was a temporary initiative used only at the Batesburg-Leesville Post Office.

Things must really be bad if they are reusing time cards. What next- job applications?
