25 May 2012, the U.S. Postal Service is offering buyouts to 45,000 part time mail handlers.
It’s part of the USPS’s plans to layoff 150,000 employees by 2015. Postal officials had no comment about how they were going to do that.
You can blame the U.S. Congress for forcing the Postal Service to over pay into government retirement and health plans, even though the USPS does not get any tax dollars!!!
The money for the U.S. Postal Service comes directly from sales of postage and mail services!
