The U.S. Postal Service can’t fix its finances through cuts alone, Postmaster General David Steiner said Friday.
Steiner said the 150-year-old agency needs to expand its revenue base to restore prominence in the nation’s delivery network. It also should capitalize on its long-standing legal obligation to deliver to every address.
One way it can do that, Steiner said during the Postal Board of Governors meeting in Washington, is by working with more customers to provide final or “last mile” delivery to individual home and businesses, the most expensive and labor-intensive part of delivery.
“I’ve taken to saying that we cannot cost-cut our way to prosperity,” Steiner said. “We have to grow.”
Steiner said the postal service, which has faced an uncertain future since President Donald Trump’s election to a second term, is currently negotiating deals with private parcel delivery service UPS and similar companies to expand its last-mile service for the final leg of delivery. He said USPS also wants to open up that program to large and small retailers, offering same-day and next-day delivery.
RIF management and take away their pensions and benefits.
Fire 90 percent of management
Why keep.these PM’s? Most are terrible, do very little and have no prior management experience at all. You can’t continue to stay in business with the overhead of people who never touch a piece of mail. Get rid of every PM you have, they are a burden, not an asset
Too many managers, supervisors, and useless bean counters. Chop off the head and save tens of millions.
Get rid of all the employees scamming the system on OWCP and disability. Also get rid of all the deadbeats who barely do any work each day.
I think the PMG is actually actor Jon Hamm….
Hes cut nothing??? We have 3 PMs in our office. One’s a idiot related to someone.
One’s been there for 5 years, still doesn’t know anything.
The third had to be moved out of his office for harassing an employee???
All they are worried about is if you sit for 6 mins. even though your looking for
a parcel, because we still get amazon.
Or did you scan 15 pieces of mail for some unknown reason.
I’ll bet anyone we lose another 9 billion next year!!!!
