America’s message to Congress: We want first-rate mail delivery service, six
days a week
- NALC - The American people
want Congress to take action to save the service network. As
President Rolando states in his letter, Congress should take
action to “strengthen and build the Postal Service, not weaken
and slowly destroy it.” As Congress debates the future of the
Postal Service, it should pause and take into account the will
of the people.

Invisible Hands: The
Businessmen’s Campaign to Dismantle the Post Office
Save the Post Office - The leaders
of the Postal Service have made no secret of their plans for
reforming the postal system. They have issued white papers,
given speeches, presented “optimization” programs, and appeared
before Congressional committees.
The plans are clear: eliminate the layoff protections in
union contracts; cut the career workforce by nearly half while
tripling the number of non-career workers; reduce service
standards for first-class mail; do away with Saturday delivery;
give management control of workers’ benefit plans; consolidate
away over 250 processing plants; and close 15,000 post offices.

Former postmaster:
Closing post offices not the way to save money
From his experience, Slavin has found
the USPS hasn’t been very forthcoming with information regarding
closures of post offices and why certain offices are being targeted.
He said even the postmasters are being kept in the dark. He’s frustrated
with the decisions being made and concerned about the future consequences.

Statement on USPS Asking PRC to Accelerate
Review of Network and Service Standard Changes
-
The
PRC issued a schedule last week that guarantees the Commission will
not issue its non-binding advisory opinion until July 10, 2012,
at the earliest. The Postal Service would like to move forward with
its planned network and service standard changes with the benefit
of the PRC’s advisory opinion, which it would need to have well
before May 15. .

A post office worth preserving
FOR MANY MONTHS NOW, postal management
and a chorus of pundits have delivered one message: Out-of-control
deficits are dooming the Postal Service, and it will survive only
if management is given the authority to radically downsize the system.
Half the country's post offices and processing plants must close,
Saturday delivery must go, service must be reduced, and over two
hundred thousand jobs must be cut. These steps, however, will
not ensure the survival of the Postal Service. This is not
a vision for the future. It's an invitation to a funeral.
