Rally
To Protest Lafayette Post Office Closing
"Up to a few
weeks ago, the only reasons given by United States Postal Service
officials for closing the branch had to do with security concerns,
citing broken security cameras and a broken bulletproof glass door
through which parcels are passed. But earlier this month, Darleen
Reid, a USPS spokeswoman gave Jersey Journal columnist Earl Morgan
an additional reason. "It's not official yet, but the paperwork
is already in the works to permanently close the Lafayette Post
Office because it doesn't make a profit and we are under a congressional
mandate that post offices make a profit," Reid said."

USPS OIG Recommends Diverting Some Window
Transactions to Alternate Channels (PDF)
-
"The Postal Service could divert some non-revenue generating
transactions currently conducted at the retail counter to
alternate channels by promoting the use of USPS.com and the
contact center, expanding automated services available in the
retail lobby, and exploring new channels that its domestic
competitors and foreign postal entities currently use. OIG also
recommends that USPS "Explore adding fee-based premium delivery
options to available services."

Ask President
Burrus: Why Are Jobs Going to Mail Handler Craft?
Q: Do you think the new jobs are going to the Mail
Handler craft because we have provisions for penalty overtime pay
and they do not? When APWU can prove that the manual activity is
integral to clerical duties, we have been able to prevail in the
assignment of work. It is regrettable that another union would take
solace in reducing the salary level of the work in question in order
to maintain a membership base.
