Last week, Link covered the Postal Service’s preparations for this year’s holiday season.
As we reported, the organization is ready to deliver exceptional service, thanks to the substantial progress USPS has made under the Delivering for America plan.
“The Postal Service’s historic transformation — made possible by our Delivering for America plan — has allowed us to realize more package processing capacity than ever before,” said Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. “Our operational, transportation and delivery processes have never been more finely tuned, and I am fully confident in our ability to once again handle the peak holiday season surge. We are strongly positioned to deliver exceptional, affordable service to the American people during the holidays and beyond.”
Link also told you about a tentative contract between the Postal Service and the National Association of Letter Carriers, a plan to quarantine the USPS-issued mobile devices that have outdated operating systems and the release of the latest “Mailin’ It!” podcast.
Other highlights included another reminder about the rules governing politics in the workplace under the Hatch Act.
Additionally, we introduced you to Keith Minchillo, a Woonsocket, RI, letter carrier who rescued an infant who fell out of a window, and two Boston employees — Brian Cronin, customer services manager, and Paul Bolas, a senior territory sales executive — who accepted more than 300 care packages for U.S. military personnel last month on the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
“As a support to events like 9/11, it is important to note USPS employees were there helping behind the scenes in big ways and small during the tragedy,” Cronin said. “For so many, their helpers are dressed in postal blue.”
