Service performance continues to suffer in the first quarter of 2016. Changes to service standards, including critical entry times, transportation changes that reflect network alterations and workforce reductions combined to slow on-time delivery.

In all fairness, USPS saw the impact and deferred closings and consolidations through 2015 and into this year.  The changes remain on hold with no new startup date.  The Postal Service continues to update their status on a weekly basis.  There are some concerns over when a restart date may happen and what impact it will have.

Some critics have asked for a return to 2012 standards but the cost and infrastructure changes are impractical and very cost-prohibitive.  Progress needs to move forward.







Financial numbers for February 2016 and for YTD vs. SPLY are encouraging with the exception of Periodicals, but even their rate of loss is slowing.  This should be a sign of the beginnings of a return to financial stability.

However, uncontrollable expenses such as the annual payout to the future employee retirement fund and supplemental payments to employee retirement funds are ruining efforts to climb out of the slump.

Like it or not Congress must step up to the plate

WEATHER RELATED USPS STATUS

Denver CO and the surrounding areas were able to effect processing and delivery during and after the large spring snowstorm.

The Houston TX area facilities are functioning during the floods
One thing that is clear about USPS is that the workforce has reached a level where employees are being hired again albeit more part-time than full-time workers.

A question is whether or not USPS will be able to provide effective training to the new hires to make up for the loss in expertise over the past few years,
