Postal Decisions
To Be Announced Thursday
5.16.2012 -
WPTZ reports: "The Postal
Service will announce changes to its
distribution network Thursday, a
representative with the agency tells
NewsChannel 5. A self-imposed
moratorium on potential closures
within its mail processing network
ended Tuesday. "Prior to public
release of any additional information,
our top priority, as is standard
operating procedure, is to ensure our
employees are notified first," said
Tom Rizzo, a Postal Service spokesman."

Postal Service
halts plans to close 600 urban and suburban
stations
5.15.2012 -
The Washington Post reports: "The
Postal Service backed off the plan to
close the 3,700 post offices last
week, saying it would no longer close
thousands of rural post offices but
would keep them open with shorter
hours. The mail agency on Monday
reiterated that about 600 branches and
satellite stations in urban and
suburban locations that had been
included in the original study for
closure also will be kept open, rather
than shut down sometime after Tuesday." -

USPS Announces
Plan for Rural Post Offices
5.09.2012 -
The National League of Postmasters reports:
"The plan will impact over 13,000
offices. Currently, 9,500 of these
offices are served by an incumbent
Postmaster. Congress is considering
over 25 bills to protect rural post
offices but, unfortunately none
protect Postmasters. The POStPlan
matches SOV/CSV earned hours to hours
of operation. In a nutshell those
offices that do not earn full-time
staffing will be reduced to part-time
offices." -

Postmasters who have reached their
minimum retirement age and service
requirements, and those who wish to

Senators lobby
both sides of postal moratorium
5.04.2012 -
The Hill reports: "Almost half of the Senate's members have
now called on Postmaster General
Patrick Donahoe to extend the
moratorium, after the chamber passed
its postal legislation last week.
Those lawmakers - including the 43
mostly Democratic senators who wrote
to Donahoe on Wednesday - say that
moving ahead with closures before
Congress can finish its work could
devastate communities around the
country." -
