Postmaster General David Steiner says USPS “is not a political organization,” as it carefully navigates its way through yet another round of election mail lawsuits and urges Congress for help to avoid running out of cash.

[really]

FOR the sake of the Post Office.... He should be calling for 100% mail in ballots.
174 million voters (or so) times .82 and every 4 years. WOW the post office could afford to give us 1.5 next contract
Disagree or agree but this would bring in needed revenue

Hey I have several crazy ideas!!!!!!

#1 We already did but bring drug test and testing back to get better people.
#2 After hiring better people, start getting rid of supervisors
#3 Start looking into closing smaller offices that are near other offices

(Example: We have 4 RMPOs in my office on top of main one). 3 of them are within about 2 miles of each other in BASICALLY A STRAIGHT LINE DRIVE). Those 3 are within about 4-5 miles of main office. Other one is bigger with around 300 po boxes so it could stay open and is about 6 miles from main office. Main office is where you go to get everything from gas to grocery and etc.

Close those 3 and guess what? Save roughly 400k. Close all 4 and could be closer to 500K to 550k a year.

Right there alone it would probably make our office at least close to breaking even if not maybe slightly profitable.

The GAO did a study on this very scenario using the 2008 election as the example. Report in PDF.
