The U.S. Postal Service announced they will stop delivering and collecting letters on Saturdays beginning in August.
The postal service said they will begin cutting back on Aug. 5, but reaffirmed they will continue to deliver packages on Saturdays. Under the new schedule, post office hours will not change and post office boxes will continue to receive Saturday delivery.
Postmaster general and CEO of the postal service Patrick Donahoe says the move will impact 22,500 jobs which he plans to achieve without resorting to layoffs. Rather, he would offer buy-outs, eliminate overtime, and rely more on the part-time workforce. There will be no changes to post offices that are currently open on Saturday and mail will continue to be delivered to PO boxes.
Donahue said the plan will save $2 billion annually.
The agency twice defaulted on payments totaling $11 billion, and it exhausted a $15 billion line of credit from the U.S. Treasury.
In the past year, the service has cut hours at thousands of post offices — some are open for only two hours a day. It has also merged some of its plants, which led to a 28,000 drop in its workforce through retirements and departures by employees who couldn’t relocate or take up other postal jobs.
