It’s good to see the USPS trying to get their cost structure in line.
“Last night I signed an agreement with the General Services Administration and DOGE representatives to assist us in identifying and achieving further efficiencies,” DeJoy said. “This is an effort aligned with our efforts, as while we have accomplished a great deal, there is much more to be done. We are happy to have others assist us in our worthwhile cause.”
The Postal Service is an independent agency that has remained untouched by DOGE’s presence in other departments, until now.
The postmaster general said his agency plans to reduce its workforce by 10,000 workers within the next month through a voluntary early retirement program.
DeJoy said the DOGE team asked about the big problems facing the Postal Service. He cited various issues including miscalculations and mismanagement over its retirement plans that have several billion dollars of “burdensome” funds, mismanagement of its Workers’ Compensation Program, unfunded mandates as a result of legislation that require the service to participate in “costly activities,” and “burdensome regulatory requirements” that restrict normal practices.
…..miscalculations and mismanagement over its retirement plans…
Union crap.
…..mismanagement of its Workers’ Compensation Program…
More Union crap.
….unfunded mandates as a result of legislation that require the service to participate in “costly activities,” ….
Even MORE Union crap
….“burdensome regulatory requirements” that restrict normal practices…..
MORE of EVEN MORE Union Crap.
FDR was right (once, at least) when he proclaimed that a union of government employees should never be allowed. What DeJoy outlined are all the problems forced onto the USPO by its Union in conjunction with Democrat Presidents and Congresses over the years. In return, Da Yooonion sends massive contributions to election funds.
Not that long ago, the Post Office delivered mail twice a day and a first class stamp was three cents. Run the inflation calculator and you get about 35 cents.
