The Postal Service’s new chief executive is defending the agency’s current operating model, at a time when the Trump administration considers challenging its independence.
David Steiner, former FedEx board member and Waste Management CEO, began his tenure as postmaster general on Tuesday.
Steiner told employees Thursday he supports keeping USPS independent from the executive branch and defended the 10-year reform plan of his predecessor, former Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.



Let’s be clear here. Steiner is going to affirm the status quo ( non privatization and DFA) until he gets a chance to evaluate things. Make no mistake, if he determines that the task is impossible he will sound the alarms for all to hear. He’s not going to put his hands over his ears like Dejoy did. But like Dejoy, he probably doesn’t know what he’s getting into.
33,000 PO 60% lose money??
Each one with a useless PM??
VPs, POOMs, Supervisors??
DC???
The new thing is rural carriers they did that RRCSS
and cut all the rurals routes. But, they only cut
their pay to 8 hours. So now they work 4 hours and
get paid 8???
He could cut tons of money very fast.
I don’t think he knows what to do.
And, I do think DC sabotages anyone
that walks in the door???
