USPS accelerates closure plans for 55 mail processing plants

Post by POSTMAN »

The US Postal Service is bringing forward plans to close dozens of mail processing plants that had been scheduled for consolidation in 2014.

Officials said the cash-strapped Postal Service had found ways to accelerate its network consolidation plan while maintaining the current service standards for its mail processing activities.

Unions were told the accelerated closure plan was needed because of the state of the economy and ongoing diversion of mail volumes to Internet communications, which has led to “historically large deficits” in the USPS budget.
