U.S. Postmaster General Louis #DeJoy’s Thursday announcement that the independent United States #Postal #Service is partnering with the Department of Government Efficiency on a cost-cutting crusade that includes a
🔥planned reduction of 10,000 workers stoked fears that one of America’s most trusted and relied-upon federal agencies is on a path toward #privatization.
In a letter to congressional leaders, DeJoy said #DOGE will help the USPS “in identifying and achieving further efficiencies.”
The postal chief listed “mismanagement” of the agency’s #retirement #assets and workers’ compensation program,
“unfunded mandates imposed on us by legislation,” and “burdensome regulatory requirements restricting 'normal' business practice” as issues to be addressed.
