Saturday postal delivery continues
 
 
NEW YORK TIMES
 
 
  
WASHINGTON — The Postal Service on
Wednesday backed away from its plan to stop Saturday mail delivery and
criticized Congress for taking the cost-cutting proposal off the table.
 
   In a statement, the Postal Service’s
Board of Governors said it had come to the decision Tuesday after
Congress passed a measure in March requiring it to continue delivering
mail six days a week.
 
  
“The board believes that Congress
has left it with no choice but to delay this implementation at this
time,” the Postal Service said.
 
  
Congress included the requirement in
legislation it passed to keep the government financed through
September, the latest salvo in the power struggle between the Postal
Service and lawmakers over solving the agency’s financial woes.Congress is full of ***holes.

Unfortunately, Unions never want to give up anything, even if it means the whole business may go under and they may all lose their jobs and benefits.http://www.apwu.org/news/nsb/2013/nsb03-130411-congressmustact.htm 4951
