WASHINGTON — Mail deliveries could be delayed by a day or more under cost-cutting efforts being imposed by the new postmaster general.
The plan eliminates overtime for hundreds of thousands of postal workers and says employees must adopt a "different mindset” to ensure the Postal Service survives the coronavirus pandemic.
Postal Service leaders say in a document obtained by The Associated Press that if postal distribution centers are running late, "they will keep the mail for the next day."
The changes come a month after a major donor to President Donald Trump, Louis DeJoy, took over the sprawling mail service.
