A Friendly Video Reminder to the Postal Service to Stay Focused on Delivering Mail

Just several weeks ago, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) released its financial results and the information wasn’t good news for the Postal Service or taxpayers. Reporting a loss of $5.1 billion for the 2015 fiscal year, its ninth consecutive year-end loss of more than a billion dollars, the beleaguered agency must find a way to get back on track. Part of the problem is the repeated attepmts by the agency to delve into new services like grocery delivery. It is also important to note that leadership at the USPS has been an issue too, which is why TPA is looking to their Board of Governors and the multiple openings on the board as a way to repair the agency. After another financial loss, compounded by a year in which multiple schemes in new services did not deliver the return needed to get the agency out of the red, it’s time the USPS remember the message of many who have been calling for reforms: stick to the core mission of delivering the mail. With that in mind, TPA is reminding everyone about that message with our animated holiday-themed video calling on the government-granted monopoly to stop with abusive expansion into private markets and return to that core mission.
