"We should be moving towards faster delivery service, not slowing things down," said Andy Kubat, President of LV local APWU.
The plan, designed to cut costs, moves away from local mail sorting and creates regional distribution centers to do the processing, then the mail is returned to be sent out. It's already been implemented in places like Atlanta, Georgia, Fort Meyers, Florida, and Richmond, Virginia.
"All of those locations have seen a drop in on-time deliveries", says Kubat.
"They're seeing trucks lined up at the docks waiting to unload. Stuff that we haven't seen since the pandemic," Kubat said.
"On-time delivery has dropped by as much as 28%."
An audit of the Richmond facility released by the USPS Office of Inspector General in early April found "egregious issues" and questioned the effectiveness of the new plan.
Still, the Biden Administration does nothing to remove DeJoy!!

(1,667 posts)President Biden could have appointed two new officials to the USPS Board of Governors in December when the terms of two board members expired, and put an end to DeJoys plan to destroy the Post Office as we know it. President Biden can still do it now, and he must before things get even worse.
Sign the petition: Urge President Biden to fill two openings on the USPS Board of Governors to save the USPS from DeJoy. We need a USPS Board who will get the USPS back on track and stop DeJoys disastrous privatization plan.
