The massive plan, “Delivery for America”, also seeks to make the Postal Service more competitive and modern – including a new energy-friendly fleet of delivery vehicles and ideas for new services that the agency can offer to customers as well as small businesses. said the source.
USPS said in a statement that the plan would include “financial forecasts for the coming decade, strategies for improving service performance and investments in the organization’s future.”
Postal service workers and unions are trying to release the plan after changes DeJoy made to the agency over the summer delayed the delivery of the mail.
In a statement to CNN, the president of the American Postal Workers Union, Mark Dimondstein, said the plan “contains positive features, as well as some suggestions that should worry postal workers and customers.”
Dimondstein noted that ‘any proposals that delayed the post, reduce access to post offices, or pursue the failed strategy of plant consolidation,’ should be addressed ‘, but welcomed the plan to open 46 new annexes to ever-increasing number of packages processed by the USPS “as well as the recognition” that the United States postal service is strong in the people who provide the service. “
Democratic lawmakers have linked DeJoy, a key donor to former President Donald Trump, to the then president’s anti-government rhetoric. The party has accused him of trying to sabotage the postal service, just as President Joe Biden has now relied on the ballot papers by post to deliver the White House to him.
