Excerpt
SUMMARY: In an effort to cut costs, the U.S. Postal Service announced Wednesday it is seeking to cancel mail service on Saturdays. This decision came after the Postal Service lost a record $16 billion last year. Packages will continue to be delivered and post offices will remain open, but letters will no longer be sent to houses or businesses. This move will save an estimated $2 billion.
Critics from Congress and the American Postal Workers Union were quick to respond Wednesday. They argued that small businesses, rural areas and disabled persons who depend on Saturday mail service will suffer. Congress has the power to overrule the agency on this decision.
COMMENT: I for one will not miss delivery of First Class Mail, especially 'junk' mail.
