Residents of a nude resort in Florida are furious at a U.S. Postal Service employee who they say has refused to deliver mail directly to their homes for months.
Nudists at Eden RV Resort and City Retreat in Hudson claim they have been discriminated against by a female postal worker who they say fears she will be exposed to naked people while on the job.
Disabled veteran and resident at the nude resort, Leonard Rusin, expressed his concerns while speaking to local news station WFLA.
‘There’s a postal creed and it doesn’t say anything about not going into a nudist resort… I pay for a service, and I expect that service,’ Ruskin said in the statement.

Resident Eileen Hudak (pictured) said she thinks the employee should be fired for not doing her job
Rusin relies on the postal service for his medication and other important items and documents. He said he missed a letter from the IRS recently because he did not receive his mail.
Rusin added: ‘If you’re given a job, you need to do it. 100 per cent. Not because you don’t want to.’
Resident Eileen Hudak said she thinks the employee should be fired for not doing her job.
‘It offends me that she did not do her job… because if she can’t do her job, she shouldn’t be having this job,’ Hudak told the news station.
Hudak also showed her support for fellow nudist neighbor, Rusin.
The employee has said she feels uncomfortable entering the nude resort to deliver mail

‘Sometimes the mail is important, like with our neighbor, sometimes it’s his medication… you can’t wait until Monday or Tuesday to go get it.’

Spokeswoman for the U.S. Postal Service, Enola Rice, also released a statement on the matter.
‘The mission of the Postal Service is to provide trusted, affordable, universal service to our customers. One of the ways we do this is through centralized delivery, which is the method of delivery for this community. In accordance with postal regulations, all mail is left in the appropriate boxes.
‘Packages are left in the large parcel lockers, which, like the mailboxes, are located just outside the entrance to the community. Notices are left for mail requiring signature and items that do not fit in the lockers,’ the statement read.
‘Carriers are not required to deliver beyond the centralized delivery units… we can assure all customers that mail and packages are being delivered according to national centralized delivery requirements.
‘The Postal Service appreciates its customers and strives to provide the best possible service at all times.’
