| 摘要： | THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE (USPS) has had periodic changes to its structure and processes over 250 years. However, a new law, the Postal Service Reform Act of 2021 (PSRA) just passed by Congress and signed by the President, will enable this organization of 650,000+ employees to act more like its parcel freight competitors while maintaining the six-day mail service that consumers and businesses rely on today. That's no small teat, as the USPS delivers to 159-million locations in the United States six days a week. While the PSRA 2021 focuses on the people side of the business, you have to keep in mind that the USPS is in a unique position: It's a private company owned directly by Congress and the U.S. citizens and governed by an appointed 11 -member Board of Governors, while there's pricing oversight by a separate Postal Regulatory Commission.Earlier efforts to privatize USPS in 2006 included an onerous requirement that this "private" firm "catch up" to other private firms and fully pre-fund the retirement and health benefit for hundreds of thousands of current and future retirees. |
