Postal Service Floats Big Cuts to Employee Pay,
Leave and Benefits
New postal workers would no longer earn a pension
7.02.2019 -
GovExec reports: "USPS included a hike to the employee contribution level
for pensions in a first draft of a 10-year business plan presented to lawmakers
and stakeholders, according to multiple people who were briefed on it, as well
as phasing out pensions altogether for new hires in favor of a
defined-contribution system only. The Postal Service is looking to cut the
amount of paid time off employees receive by merging annual and sick leave and
pitched a popular proposal with demonstrated bipartisan backing to require all
postal retirees to enroll in Medicare as their primary insurance provider." -

The USPS OIG reports: "Specifically, the Postal Service planned for
about 18.5 million overtime workhours and 767,000 penalty overtime workhours for
FY 2018. The actual overtime workhours used were 26.7 million (44 percent over
