Postmaster General Donohoe threatening massive closure of USPS...
Edited on Wed Sep-14-11 09:29 PM by matmar
They called us all in to the conference room where we viewed PMG Donohoe give us the situation report. He's threatening to close by March - 300 of 500 mail processing facilities across the nation unless Congress acts to provide relief. (In the middle of an election year)

Here's a link to a list of the proposed closures-

Going from 500 down to 200 facilities will have a massive impact on jobs.

If you can, call your Congressperson and tell them to sign on to H.R. 1351.
