At some point the Postmaster General interrogated the members of Congress, as well as during his watch. No. were shocked by the serious media coverage.
DeJoe clearly noted that he is not a presidential appointee, a member of the Democratic committee who interacted at one point to correct what he described as a “Trump holdover.”
“I’m not a political appointee,” he said. “I really appreciate it if you get it straight.”
Djoy’s remarks came as he, Ron Bloom, chairman of the Postal Board, and other officials testified about the need for legislation to sideline the financial status of the service.
USPS Has lost billions annually in recent years, and Bloom testified that it is estimated to lose about 160 160 billion over the next 10 years without significant improvement.
The proposal requiring postal workers to gain access to Medicare, potentially saving more than 40 40 billion over the next decade, and USPS pre-funded retired health benefits was a rare issue in the agreement between DJOI and others.
However, “it doesn’t solve the problem,” Djoy added, on its own.
“We’re on the Death Spiral,” he said. “We can’t continue to lose money, even with this law.”
DJOY acknowledged that postal service performance declined last year, but said the USPS was facing structural problems that had been glittering for years, predicting its appointment last year.
He testified that the years of financial stress, substitution, inaccurate service standards and lack of operational operational accuracy are the result of a system with sufficient resilience to adjust and adapt to changed circumstances.
The DJO told committee members that a strategic plan should be drawn up in March. But he previewed several possible changes – including lowering delivery standards for first-class mail and reducing the use of aircraft to transport mail across the country – which was warmly welcomed by Congress.
“It seems like the only solution to the problems you’ve identified is surrender,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (DMD) said. “You’re basically saying because mail is late under your leadership, we’ll just change the standards and build it into the system.”
DJOJ disputed such characteristics, but confirmed that postal officials “evaluate all standards of service.” He also said the goal is to address the service budget deficit.
“We are not out to make a profit. We are also out to break, ”he said.
Republicans on the committee largely defended Djoy and posted on their democratic counterparts that the postmaster general and his efforts to improve the postal service were being undermined.
P.P. Sessions (R-Texas) said, “I wish we had tried to make another guess and give you more credit for that instead of nitpicking and micromanaging. ‘
Republicans argue that they are boycotted, especially in terms of how ballots are handled in the November election, at a time when the test is being exchanged between committee members.
Some of the changes implemented last year under DJOY were halted in response to the outrage over mounting delays. In October, USPS internal monitoring determined that shake-ups, coupled with coronavirus-related staffing challenges, “negatively affect the quality and timeliness of mail delivery.” The Inspector General’s report also found flaws in how those policies were implemented.
For weeks Democrats have been pressuring Bijon to take steps to remove Djoy and the president has vowed to quickly appoint new board members overseeing the postmaster general. UPS There are three open seats on the board of governors, although some Democrats have urged Biden to remove the entire board to fill Djoy with the right people to get rid of him – a dramatic move in court over the question of legal experts.
The Postmaster General had earlier confirmed in the fall sheet that there were concerns about prolonged delays in the delivery of paychecks, medicine and other critical mail. At the time, Democrats were also concerned about the impact the declining influence had on voting by mail, and also accused Djoy of trying to advance the election in Trump’s favor.
