Re: US mail tampering

More | Report Post

My former employer is either disposing of my mail, or is waiting
months to forward it to me in envelopes without a return address
or postage. I contacted the USPS inspectors and I was told that
once the mail is delivered, it becomes the personal property of
my former employer, that there is no violation of 18 USC Section
1701, and that I have no rights. How can this be true?
I would greatly appreciate and help or insights because this has
become a very serious problem for me.
