Decreases in business, attrition, austerity
I was talking with a friend who works for the USPS. It seems they are feeling a loss in business like many other sectors. They’re not taking in as much mail. They’re not shipping or delivering as many packages. As a result when people leave they aren’t replaced. This is causing increases in overtime on the existing staff. Off the top of my head I’d say they’re going to have to come up with new ways to market themselves to the public. Maybe setting up more smaller contract stores, which are USPS as far as shipping and receiving but are privately owned. I go to the one near my neighborhood instead of the main station which is not farther away but has denser traffic.
