After studying the reports, she says now, management shuts the machine down for 10-12 hours a day on average.

"They're just holding [mail] for this new machine that they're not using. It's like, why aren't you letting them work it manually? If you're not going to use the machine, let them get it out," said Pruitt.

That's where she says things get even more strange.

Pruitt says even if the machine isn't running, the facility has workers on the clock 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and they're all trained and capable of processing the parcels by hand, which is what they did before getting the new machine in 2021.

"We've always still had manual operations. It's just part of the the nature of the beast, if you want to call it that. But they're not letting them do it," she said.

Pruitt says this leaves oceans of mail sitting stagnant, with nothing the factory full of frustrated workers can do about it.
