The Postal Service has notified unions and management associations of several updates in its transformation of the processing and delivering networks. Employees at five more P&DCs have been notified that their facility is under review for consolidation, and a recent presentation to the unions and management associations has revealed the locations of 17 more Sorting & Delivery Centers (S&DCs) in five regions, where 500 post offices could lose their carriers.
The Postal Service is just getting started on transforming the network, but it’s already clear that the changes will be massive. Last month PRC Commissioner Robert Taub told Congress that the Delivering for America plan may represent “the most fundamental change to the network since Ben Franklin was the postmaster general.”
