В связи с экономическим кризисом, почтовая служба США запросила санкцию Конгресса на увольнение 120 тысяч сотрудников и перевод оставшихся работников на более дешевую медицинскую страховку:
The USPS said it needs to reduce its workforce by 120,000 career positions by 2015, from a total of about 563,400, on top of the 100,000 it expects by attrition. Some of the 120,000 could come through buyouts and other programs, but a significant number would probably result from layoffs if Congress allows the agency to circumvent union contracts.
Unfortunately, the collective bargaining agreements between the Postal Service and our unionized employees contain layoff restrictions that make it impossible to reduce the size of our workforce by the amount required by 2015,” according to the optimization document. “Therefore, a legislative change is needed to eliminate the layoff protections in our collective bargaining agreements.
Кроме того, предполагается переход службы с 6-дневной рабочей недели на 5-дневку.
