APWU Web News Article 77-2012, June 29, 2012

The Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) has denied the APWU’s request [PDF] for an emergency order to stop the Postal Service from implementing its latest plan to consolidate the mail processing network and reduce service standards until after the commission rules on the union’s underlying June 12 complaint.

“The decision demonstrates the need to strengthen the commission’s authority and to enhance public input into USPS plans that would affect service on a nationwide basis,” said APWU President Cliff Guffey.
