Postal Service says will end Saturday
mail delivery
The Postal Service plans to drop Saturday delivery of first-class
mail by August in its latest effort to cut costs after losing nearly $16
billion last fiscal year, the cash-strapped mail agency said on Wednesday.
The plan would save about $2 billion a year, the Postal Service
said. The mail agency will still deliver packages six days a week and will not
change post office operating hours.
The Postal Service has been losing billions of dollars each year
as it grapples with massive payments for future retiree health benefits and as
Americans’ increasing online communications drive down mail volumes.
