USPS Warning

Postal groups are using tax day — today — to sound a warning. The American Postal Workers Union and National Mail Handlers Union have joined to spread word about potential cuts at the Postal Service. They're passing out flyers about planned post office closures and possible job cuts. USPS has announced plans to get rid of 3,600 post offices and consolidate more than 200 mail processing centers. The agency has racked up about $14 billion in red ink over the past two years. The Senate plans to take up postal reform legislation today.
