DeJoy Slows DeMail: Corporate Mismanagement Undermines a Public Service

In 2021, the U.S. Postal Service implemented a major change in mail handling that slowed delivery for two out of five first-class letters.

In some cases, this change permitted mail to be delivered a full two days later than under the prior standard.

Now, the agency is again planning to slow down the mail by adding an additional day to delivery times in much of the country.

That’s according to an article by Chrisopther Shaw in the current issue of the Capitol Hill Citizen.

As part of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s push to restructure the postal system, which the agency calls “Delivering for America,” mail would no longer be collected from most post offices at the close of the workday.
