Postmaster Will Suspend Operational Changes

August 18, 2020 · 1:50 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said the U.S. Postal Service is suspending operational changes, like removing mail processing equipment and collection boxes, until after the November election,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Mr. DeJoy also said the agency won’t change retail hours at post offices across the country or close any mail-sorting facilities. He said overtime hours will continue to be approved as needed to process mail.”

From a statement: “To avoid even the appearance of any impact on election mail, I am suspending these initiatives until after the election is concluded.”
