USPS Board of Governors Chairman Louis Giuliano last week discussed the Postal Service’s 10-year action plan with major business mailers from across the country.
“Speaking for the Board of Governors, I fully support management’s plan in its entirety,” said Giuliano. “It’s a balanced, comprehensive approach which includes many solutions rather than just one.”
Giuliano said for the Postal Service to remain a viable organization in 2020 and beyond, it must become a flexible, agile agency able to respond to change. To that end, Giuliano said all of the plan’s components are necessary, including Congressional action to restructure the retiree health benefits prefunding mandate to a pay-as-you-go system and a change to five day delivery.
“If we are going to self-fund like a business, we need to make decisions and take actions like a business, while maintaining our universal service obligation,” said Giuliano. “That is what management’s plan addresses, in all of its components — each of which is vital to our postal future.”
Giuliano made his remarks at a meeting of the Association of Postal Commerce in Washington, DC.
