SUMMARY : Urges the United States Postal Service to end its plan
to reduce the frequency of mail delivery from six days to five
days a week, and to take all appropriate measures to ensure the
continuation of this six-day mail delivery service.
Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative
findings:
1)The United States Postal Service has proposed the reduction of
its mail delivery service from six days to five days a week;
and, six-day mail delivery is an essential service that the
American people have relied on since 1912, particularly those
families that live in rural communities and others that depend
on the timely delivery of essential items such as paychecks,
food and prescription drugs.
2)Reducing mail delivery service to five days a week would
inevitably cause delays in delivery of mail and higher postal
costs due to the additional overtime that would be required to
handle the resulting backlog of mail.
3)Reducing the frequency of delivery service would seriously
reduce the ability of the United States Postal Service to
offer jobs and benefits to servicemen and women when they
return from their tour of duty.
FISCAL EFFECT : None
