USPS offers buyouts to 45K employees
The troubled mail carrier, which lost $6.5 billion in the first six months
of fiscal 2012, is eager to cut costs by enticing workers to leave voluntarily. Earlier this month, the Postal Service offered $20,000 buyouts to some 21,000 postmasters under a separate plan to trim operating expenses at 13,000 post offices. The U.S. Postal Service is offering $15,000 buyouts to virtually all of its 45,000 career mail handlers, a spokesman said Friday. Confirmation of the agreement with the mail handlers union came a week after USPS executives said they would proceed with the closing or consolidation of 48 mail processing plants this summer as the first step in a historic downsizing that will eventually shrink the plant network by half and eliminate 28,000 jobs.

In discussions late last year, the IMF tasked the Government with starting collective redundancy procedures for employees of the company, with the number of workers to be dismissed yet to be determined at that time. The Romanian Post had losses of EUR 29 million in 2010. It is currently controlled by the Ministry of Communications, which owns 75 percent of shares, and the Property Fund, with 25 percent. http://www.thediplomat.ro/articol.php?id=2721 |

USPS offers buyouts to 45K employees
In addition to the reduction in staffing, the USPS is also trimming
the small rural POs. Our PO will only operate 4 hours a day, five days a week. Thus it will no longer have a postmaster and effectively end a 136 year existence. A similar PO 15 miles south of us fares the same fate, It too will 'disappear' after 132 years. The 'nearest' PO for me will be some 16 miles away, but for the other, it would be some 25 miles and into another state !!! Once again [the so-called privatization] our gummint shows the lack of regard for its citizens, while spending trillions aiding non-citizens here and overseas! |

Getting older I begin to become emotional in what regards traditions:-) A similar PO 15 miles south of us fares the same fate, It too will 'disappear' after 132 years.
