USPS fills leadership ranks with new deputy postmaster general, 2 board members

[ffr]

The Postal Service is filling up its leadership ranks, and is close to having its first fully staffed Board of Governors in more than a decade.
-snip-

President Joe Biden’s third pick to serve on the board, Anton Hajjar, a former attorney for the American Postal Workers Union, is on the Senate’s calendar and is expected to receive a confirmation vote soon. If confirmed, the board would be fully staffed for the first time since 2010.

USPS delivered 78% of first-class mail on time in the second quarter of 2021, compared to 92.18% for the same period last year.

The average delivery time for a first-class piece of mail was 2.9 days in the second quarter, compared to 2.3 days for the same period last year. - Fed News Network

T---- and DeJoy have really damaged our postage system's reputation. People should go to jail or be banished from their country for doing everything in their power to sabotage something so critical to our nation's prosperity, health, and security.

5. You got that right. Should for sure. But

discouragingly won’t. The crooks have figured out how to work the system to their advantage at little to no personal risk.

6. Well that's interesting, because the 2nd quarter isn't over yet

13. I believe they run on a fiscal accounting timetable

I think the first Quarter of the US Govt fiscal year is October-December, second quarter is Jan-March.

7. I sincerely hope there will be indictments coming Mr. DeJoy's way. n/t

10. Our local post office has cut their hours.

They have a self-serve machine for postage that is not user-friendly. DeJoy took government property and destroyed it for no reason other than to slow the mail down. He belongs in jail.

11. Undo all the damage please. USPS is the most efficient postal service in the WORLD bar none.

It is the model most others follow. The countries I've lived in before, the postmasters I spoke to sung the praised of the pre-( ) post office.

12. besides the two senate appointed governors, who is choosing these sudden appointments?

We won't have control of the board until the 3rd gov is appointed.

So is this a case of the current board packing the service with trumpists?

14. It is my understanding

that the Board can oust that asshole. Correct me if I am wrong.

15. Once DeJoyless is gone things will turn the corner.
