Congressman Lynch’s Statement on Postal Service’s Transition to Five-Day Mail Delivery

Congressman Stephen F. Lynch, Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Federal Workforce, U.S. Postal Service and the Census, released the following statement in response to the United State Postal Service’s announcement today on five-day mail delivery:

“I am deeply concerned by the United State Postal Service’s decision to transition to five day delivery without congressional consent.  The elimination of Saturday mail delivery will have a negative impact on thousands of businesses across the nation that are operating on a six day schedule.  This could be a damaging policy change in a fragile economy.  Clearly, the Postal Service continues to face a variety of significant fiscal challenges, from decreasing mail volume and declining revenue, to the onerous mandate that the agency prefund its retiree health benefit obligations 75 years before it is necessary.  However, I do not believe that the solution to improving the financial viability of the Postal Service will be found in a unilateral and legally-questionable move to five day delivery, but rather through the enactment of bipartisan, comprehensive, and well-reasoned postal reform legislation.”

  1. I as well as my pals have already been checking out the nice tricks located on your site and then quickly I got a terrible suspicion I had not thanked the web site owner for those techniques. All of the young men are already excited to study them and have in effect clearly been loving those things. We appreciate you getting considerably thoughtful and for making a decision on these kinds of useful tips millions of individuals are really eager to understand about. Our own honest regret for not saying thanks to sooner.

  2. Thank You Congressman..as a resident of your state and Postal Employee please expose this move for what it really is. Systematic destruction of the P.O. and elimination of working mens and women’s jobs. With this the first of many institutional destroying moves the incompetents in charge have started thier assault and could care less what You and the rest of our elected officials think .Typical inherent P.O. management style! Immediately after this announcement they went straught to how it will afffect job eliminations and re assignments for craft workers.What about management? They will hire more! This borders on or may be criminal actions by ignorants! They must be stopped or an insttution on which this country’s foundation was built will cease to exist. I would like to also thank you for always,always fighting the good fight for us who work for the good of trying to save this institution.. unlike those who are running it!
