US Postal Service Warns It Must Continue Cost Cuts or Risk Bailout

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Postal Service said on Thursday it must continue to cut costs and boost revenue or risks requiring a government bailout to help the organization avoid financial collapse.

USPS reported on Thursday a net loss of $9.5 billion for its fiscal year ending Sept. 30, a $3-billion bigger loss than last year, largely due to a year-over-year increase in non-cash workers’ compensation expense. Total operating revenue was $79.5 billion, up 1.7%.

“If we do nothing more, we remain on the path to either a government bailout or the end of this great organization as we know it,” the Postal Service said in its revised restructuring plan issued on Thursday, adding it was facing a “still-precarious financial condition.”

  1. Ask yourself how much money does the FDA lose? The CIA? Secret Service? There’s a clue there; literally it’s a Postal SERVICE.. the only reason they run it like a business is to give managers cash dollar bonuses. Don’t let them fool you.

  2. Not surprising that the same people who couldn’t run a hot dog cart can’t stop the Post Office from crashing and burning.
