TOP NEWS STORIES
USPS Testimony to House Subcommittee
"The second prong encompasses the two most critical changes necessary to close the gap: a change to a five-day delivery schedule and a restructuring of the retiree health benefits prefunding schedule. These changes would enable the Postal Service to reestablish a firm foundation for strong and profitable growth. Without these two changes, we do not anticipate the possibility of closing the earnings gap even with aggressive revenue generation initiatives." - At hearing on future of Postal Service, no dearth of despondency - All Testimony -

USPS Announces 2010 Shipping Prices
"In addition to an overall price increase of 3.3 percent, on average, for Priority Mail, there will be new prices for Express Mail, Global Express Guaranteed, Express Mail International, Priority Mail International, Parcel Select and Parcel Return Service, also effective Jan. 4. Prices for First-Class Mail, Standard Mail, Parcel Post and other mailing services products will not change in 2010, with the cost of a First-Class Mail stamp remaining at 44 cents." -
Family: Post office job pressures led to threats
"This is a case of a good man driven to obsession by the treatment he received at work. He is really just a cool guy who is very creative," Henry David said. "This difficulty and pain at work has been going on for at least two years. He disintegrated, and the obsession took control. The post office system and management style, he just couldn't shake it off." -
Victory: FERS Sick-Leave Credit Becomes Law
"President Obama signed legislation Oct. 28 that will allow postal and federal workers who retire under the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) to receive credit for sick leave when they retire. The law includes a provision long sought by the APWU and other organizations representing federal employees, which allows FERS-covered workers to receive a 50 percent credit for unused sick leave until Dec. 31, 2013. Starting on Jan. 1, 2014, they will receive full credit." -
The Postal Service's 'get well' plan? Greeting cards
"Next time you visit the post office for stamps, you might also be able to buy (and send) your brother his belated birthday card. The U.S. Postal Service has started selling Hallmark greeting cards at some post offices, a one-year experiment that may lead the nation's 34,000 postal outlets to eventually sell other goods and services, including banking, insurance and cellphones." -
Why doesn't the USPS want a price increase in 2010?
"Second, the USPS wants to apply pressure on the unions, since 2010 starts the contract negotiations for two of its four unions. Simply put, the unions will find it hard to deny that the economic position in which the Postal Service finds itself does not require some significant changes in the agreements between postal management and labor." (PostalMag.com note: This is a business strategy known as self-starvation. See: Downsizing Isn't What It's Cracked Up to Be) -
Congress in no rush to cut mail delivery
"Despite the U.S. Postal Service's persistent financial distress, Congress appears unlikely this year to approve the postmaster general's cost-cutting proposal to eliminate Saturday mail delivery. "There's no political will to do it right now," said Jerry Cerasale, a lobbyist for the Direct Marketing Association, a trade group of businesses and nonprofit organizations that relies largely on mail to communicate with customers. "The only way that you'd really see it happen is if the dire financial straits of the Postal Service continue well into the future." -
