The Postal Service’s latest quarterly financial report topped Link’s headlines last week.
The organization reported $18.8 billion in total operating revenue for fiscal year 2024’s third quarter (April 1-June 30), an increase of 1 percent compared with the same quarter one year earlier.
We also covered the opening of the latest Postal Pulse employee survey; the publication of The Eagle magazine’s latest edition, which focused on the successful introduction of the USPS Ground Advantage shipping product; and the release of a new video on improvements to the organization’s delivery fleet.
Other highlights included a reminder of the Thursday, Aug. 15, deadline for USPS employees to order T-shirts to promote semipostal stamps, and a look at the 1970 signing of the legislation that created the Postal Service.
Additionally, we introduced you to “Heroes” such as Dennis Bergsbaken, a Pulaski, WI, rural carrier who helped a motorist with a flat tire, and we went “On the Job” with Larry Wilson, a Tompkinsville, KY, rural carrier who relies on a ferry to make some of his deliveries.
“I joined the Postal Service in 1985 and I have delivered this same route for my 39-year career,” Wilson said. “I have lived in Tompkinsville pretty much my whole life and I know I play an important role in delivering mail to customers throughout my community.”
