USPS Wants To Rid Of More Than 100,000 Employees
fficeyo someThe Postal Service may offer buyouts and early retirement incentives to get more than a 100,000 workers off its payroll fast. The agency calls it a "soft landing." It has already discussed the option with the Office of Personnel Management. That's one leg of its revised five-year recovery plan, and requires Congress' help because the agency is so low on cash. The plan also emphasizes restructuring the USPS network and taking workers out of the Federal Employee Health Benefit Program and into a new Postal Service healthcare plan.

private analysts have estimated that the USPS will have to shed roughly 250,000 workers in order to help stabilize it's budget. 100K, is simply not enough. This agency will continue to bleed red ink. Time to privatize.
These guys can't deliver mail on time, nor budget for anything more than red ink, yet they want to create a Postal Service healthcare plan for over 500,000 employees? What a joke.
Working for the USPS must be extremely stressful during these times.The threats just keep coming.If I were a USPS worker with financial obligations,I would be worried as well.
If the post office didn't pay out settlements to employees because someone worked and the work wasn't offered to other worker maybe they wouldn't be in the mess they are in.
union how that working for you now.
