1/5 The USPS OIG has a new report about redefining the Universal Service Obligation. That's code for how to cut costs by reducing postal services. The report shows just where things are headed under the new PMG. #USPS #savethepostoffice bit.ly/2WqEjh0
2/5 The OIG report considers cost-saving options like slowing down delivery times, fewer days of delivery, and closing post offices. bit.ly/2WqEjh0
3/5 OIG: "The USO could be designed to ensure a minimum number of retail locations, but it could allow the #USPS to ... use retail alternatives, such as contracting units, outsourced post offices, kiosks, postal lockers, etc." bit.ly/2WqEjh0
4/5 OIG: "While there is currently little acceptance of these alternatives as replacements for post offices in the U.S., eventually alternatives to access may become more acceptable than higher prices or reduced retail access." bit.ly/2WqEjh0
5/5 OIG: In other words, your post office will be closing, but if you like, you can have something instead, like a cluster box or a vending machine. You'll still have "access to postal services." bit.ly/2WqEjh0
