USPS Announces Rate Increases for 2011

It's been a busy week for Donahoe, who earlier announced a 16 percent reduction to the officer ranks, realigned revenue-generating business units and the closure of one area office in order to streamline the USPS, the organization reported.

The USPS said that while cost savings will be realized, the main objective of the restructuring is to enhance and strengthen customer service and relationships. The realignment reportedly flattens the organization, fostering flexibility to more quickly adapt to changing market forces and further mail volume decline.
