Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has announced his intention to resign—although to stay in office until a replacement is named—in the process urging that his successor continue his controversial Delivering for America reorganization initiative.
In a letter to the Postal Board of Governors he said “it is time for us together, to think about and plan for the inevitable changing of the guard in many areas of our organization, to ensure that the new culture we have developed survives our tenure, including mine, and continues to thrive.”
He continued, “Postmaster General is a demanding role made more difficult by the devastating condition I found the Postal Service in when I arrived and the almost unceasing resistance to change — without offering any viable solutions — from stakeholders motivated by both parochial and political purposes.”
