U.S. Postal Service Seeks Dismissal of Pricing Protest
The Postal Service clearly and indisputably demonstrated honest, efficient and economical management:
The Postal Service has achieved cost savings of $1 billion per year every year since 2001; in 2009 the cost savings reached $6.1 billion by reducing through attrition its workforce by the equivalent of 65,000 full time employees. In fact, it was able to reduce its career workforce from an all time high of 802,970 in 1999 to today’s 588,561, while focusing on improving service and growing postal products. Other successful efforts include halting construction of new postal facilities; negotiating an agreement with the National Association of Letter Carriers that adjusts letter carrier routes to reflect diminished volume; consolidating mail processing facilities.
