Prospects Dim for USPS Employees Waiting for Incentives for Early Retirement

USPS staff told the Congressional Research Service (CRS) this month that it’s working on a new five-year plan, which the researchers said "might contain new strategies for increasing the cost efficiency of the workforce, including the alteration or removal of workforce reduction goals."

Translation: "Postal officials acknowledged they have abandoned their impossible staff-reduction goal and therefore aren’t likely to offer early-retirement incentives any time soon."
