3000 positions to go at US Postal Services.
The United States Postal Service plans to close district offices and eliminate hundreds of jobs.
The Postal Service said it will close six administrative offices across the country and eliminate 1400 supervisor & management positions. Another 1400 positions will go in the mail processing department. It will also offer nearly 150000 employees nationwide the chance to take early retirement.
The post office ended its first quarter — October 1 through December 31 2008– with a net loss of $384 million caused by a drop in mail volume of 5.2 billion pieces. The 9.3 percent drop was the eighth consecutive quarter of volume declines. HOW ON EARTH can they go on losing money quarter after quarter??? How irresponsible is that?
Total losses = 3000
Potential losses > 100000
