The management of the US Postal Services (USPS) plans to eliminate 50 one thousand workers in the next two years, which is a decision that was already being put off.
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said, “Right now, to break even, I think we may need to take to 50 one thousand people from the organization. But that’s okay, because over the next two years, 200 a thousand people will be leaving the organization for retirement.”
The USPS has more than 500 thousand full-time workers and other 24 thousand who are not career workers. DeJoy is the first postmaster general to address the issue in decades, as reported at 24/7 Wall St.
Because, in the past, the post office has refused to deal with the fact that it is too big for current needs. The reason is that much of its benefit to the American population has been replaced by email, and the parcel services of UPS and FedEx.
Even so, the post office continues to have more of 30 thousand offices, and continues to deliver mail six days a week in almost the entire country.
As the use of of email continues to rise and Amazon.com joins UPS and FedEx in the delivery business, the Postal Service should shrink at an even faster rate than anticipated.
It is for this reason that the amount of employment will drop so dramatically.
