PRC Denies APWU Request to Halt July 1 Plan
June 29, 2012
The Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) has denied the APWU's request for an emergency order to stop the Postal Service from implementing its latest plan to consolidate the mail processing network and reduce service standards until after the commission rules on the union’s underlying June 12 complaint.
“The decision demonstrates the need to strengthen the commission’s authority and to enhance public input into USPS plans that would affect service on a nationwide basis,” said APWU President Cliff Guffey.
