New Postmaster General Unveils Plans to Overhaul USPS

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy unveiled plans for big changes he plans to implement in order to overhaul the United States 📮Postal Service (USPS).

He detailed plans for “organizational change” as he insisted the changes are crucial and necessary in a statement on Friday.

According to DeJoy, many areas of the 📮Postal Service will undergo changes. A management hiring freeze will be put in place along with a request for future voluntary early retirements.

The 📮Postal Service regions will also be reduced from seven to four as the agency is split into three operating units: “retail and delivery, logistics and processing, and commerce and business solutions.”

“This organizational change will capture operating efficiencies by providing clarity and economies of scale that will allow us to reduce our cost base and capture new revenue,” DeJoy said.

He continued, “It is crucial that we do what is within our control to help us successfully complete our mission to serve the American people and, through the universal service obligation, bind our nation together by maintaining and operating our unique, vital and resilient infrastructure.”
