Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe on the continuing billion-dollar losses of the U.S. Postal Service.
Donahoe said the Postal Service would continue pursuing legislation allowing it to end Saturday mail delivery and reduce health and other labor costs. The agency had planned to cut back in August to five-day-a-week deliveries for everything except packages, but it backpedaled last month after Congress passed a spending bill that continued a long-time prohibition against reducing delivery days.
Ridiculous. At the very least, Congress should be insisting on changes, not blocking them. The USPS is a dinosaur. Allow private businesses to compete for the service and let’s move on.
