DeJoy's plan to end Lehigh Valley mail center criticized [View all]

"We should be moving towards faster delivery service, not slowing things down," said Andy Kubat, President of LV local APWU.

The plan, designed to cut costs, moves away from local mail sorting and creates regional distribution centers to do the processing, then the mail is returned to be sent out. It's already been implemented in places like Atlanta, Georgia, Fort Meyers, Florida, and Richmond, Virginia.

"All of those locations have seen a drop in on-time deliveries", says Kubat.

"They're seeing trucks lined up at the docks waiting to unload. Stuff that we haven't seen since the pandemic," Kubat said.

"On-time delivery has dropped by as much as 28%."

An audit of the Richmond facility released by the USPS Office of Inspector General in early April found "egregious issues" and questioned the effectiveness of the new plan.

Still, the Biden Administration does nothing to remove DeJoy!!
