Hold That Thought

The plan to close nearly 50 mail processing plants has hit yet another roadblock. The Postal Service planned to close the plants in July and August. But in order to that, it's required to obtain a non-binding advisory opinion from the Postal Regulatory Commission. And, as the Federal Times reported, the commission doesn't plan to issue its opinion until September. The Postal Service reportedly wants to close the plants anyway, but the American Postal Workers Union has filed a complaint. The commission will rule on the union complaint by July 1.
