DeJoy pushes onward with "some" Network
Plan Changeses
|
|
In a new letter to
Senators, PMG Louis DeJoy has indicated that, despite the pause
in implementation of operational changes, he plans to move
forward with several Regional Distribution Center (RDC) and
Sortation & Distribution Center (SDC) projects. The SDCs,
scheduled for September 2024 implementation. These planned
SDC changes include the Wilkes-Barre, PA SDC and the York, PA
SDC.
Additionally, DeJoy
made it clear, to the Senators, that he is going to continue
pushing forward with planned changed to transportation.
In, what can only
be described as a, "nyah nyah!" (sitcking his tounge out) at
Congress move Dejoy now claims that any "pause" in Network Plan
changes was his
choice and was
already part ofof his
plan and has nothing to do with Congressional objections.
In this most recent letter, DeJoy claims that waiting until
January 01, 2025 to implement these changes was part of his
original plan and that it fits in with his already determined
schedule. Instead of being a flex, it comes off more
as a Pee Wee Herman "I meant to do that!" moment.

USPS Pauses Network Plan Consolidationsns
|
|
Postmaster General
Dejoy has announced that the USPS is pausing some planned mail
consolidations that are part of his 10-year Network
Modernization plan. This action comes in response to a
letter signed by 26 Senators expressing concern that the Network
Plan is deterioirating service to the American People.
Additionally, DeJoy also indicated that he would not move
forward with any consolidation plants with first informing
Congress.
APWU Preisdent Mark
Dimindstein commended the "union ranks, our community allies
and many friends in Congress who have made and will continue to
make their voices heard loud and clear."
The APWU has
requested a full, and accurate, list of consolidations that will
be put on hold, as well as any potential impact on excessing of
employees from one facility to another.r.
