USPS Gives up on Eliminating Saturday Service

The United States Postal Service is withdrawing it's plans to cut Saturday deliveries, as they have been unable to convince Congress of the necessity of doing so.

They had been hoping to cut Saturdays in order to get closer to within budget limits.

With Congress blocking the attempt to cut costs, by ending Saturday delivery, the USPS will now have to look at other options.

Congress suggested they renegotiate union contracts, but that is highly unlikely to succeed.

The option they may be forced to go with would be an increase in postal costs.

However, in the past that has backfired as it cost them customers and business.
