Secret Do ent Exposes USPS Privatization Planning
A do ent unearthed in proceedings before the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) reveals why the APWU is adamant that the Postal Service’s deal with Staples – and others like it – must be stopped.
The March 26, 2012, do ent exposes the secret privatization recommendation a Postal Service consultant made to USPS management: Eliminate most retail facilities throughout the country, along with the work of APWU employees.
The do ent is covered by a “protective order” that prohibits its disclosure, but the Administrative Law Judge presiding over the case has ruled that the contents can be summarized and brought out from behind the veil of secrecy.
As described by the judge in his order, the do ent reveals that the Postal Service’s consultant made a number of proposals to the USPS, including that the
Postal Service invest in high-traffic Postal Service locations and that it eliminate the majority of the standard-volume Postal Service locations and migrate that work to retail partners that are not staffed by APWU members.
The judge’s order says, “The do ent was not prepared by the [USPS] and does not, on its face, reveal whether the [USPS] adopted any of the proposals contained in it.”
As the APWU sees it, the deal with Staples is consistent with this recommendation.
“The USPS claim that the Staples deal is about providing customers with better access is a hoax. It is clearly a privatization scheme to transfer postal services – and our work – to the private sector,” APWU President Mark Dimondstein said.
“This do ent proves we are on the right track and should double down to stop this dirty deal in its tracks. Continue the boycott of Staples and Quill.com and continue to encourage our co-workers, families and friends to do the same.”

US to withdraw from Universal Postal Union?
Updating China's terminal fees (last set in 1969) to reflect its current status as a developed country were well enough, but, supposing no deal be reached, one wonders what effect the US withdrawing would have on small US vendors, US military overseas and US expats.
