Post Office To Announce Cost-Cutting Measures
(Washington, DC) -- As the U.S. Postal Service moves closer to instituting a five-day delivery schedule, Postmaster General John Potter will release projections today confirming customers are moving toward the Internet and cheaper mail options.
The organization was struck with a 13-percent drop in mail volume in the last fiscal year, which was more than double previous decreases.
It led to the Postal Service losing three-point-eight-billion dollars.
Potter's predictions for the next ten years portray hard times ahead for the government agency whose first Postmaster General was Benjamin Franklin.
Significant changes in delivery, higher postage stamp prices and possible layoffs could be on the horizon The Post Office is also considering a plan that would deliver some mail via Internet e-mail.
Recent studies show the Post Office needs to drastically alter how it does business or the massive losses will continue.
THIS IS CRAZY!?!
