The United States Postal Service (USPS)

There are a great deal of changes that the USPS systems needs to make. For one, they need to stop bombarding their customers with junk mail. According to (SOURCE E), 44 percent of marketing mail isn’t opened. Nineteen states have opted to pass bills that would allow people to opt out

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is the most recent association making a move to abstain from getting its fingers smoldered with regards to hoverboards.

When it comes to The United States Postal Service, I did not think they would have many court cases, especially dealing with diversity and mistreatment in the workplace. During my research, however, I was proven wrong. The Postal Service has had quite a few court cases, while many of them relate to ethical and discriminatory issues. Individuals have felt that the Postal Service sometimes judge applicants or workers by their lifestyle or ethnicity. This in turn shows bad representation of personnel management. One case that shows proof of this is the United States Postal Service v. Aikens. Harold Aikens, who was a black employee of the USPS, opened a case against his job being that he felt he was not receiving promotions because of his ethnicity. This is a direct violation of Title VII if found to be true. According to the USPS, Aikens “applied for a promotion for which he possessed the minimum qualifications, and that the employer selected a nonminority applicant, the parties and the Court of Appeals have unnecessarily evaded the ultimate question of discrimination…” (Bartholet 1982). Ultimately, the court upheld that Aikens did not in fact present a valid prima faci case, which the plaintiff creates a belief that the employer discriminated against him, and have evidence that backs up his claim. Due to the failure to prove that he was being discriminated against due to his race, the case did not go in his way. Regardless of the judgement, this

The United States (U.S.) Army and the United States Postal Service (USPS) are both great organizations to work for. The USPS delivers mail to virtually every household and business nearly every day. The USPS handbook states that the organization processes and delivers more than 167 billion pieces of mail, letters, cards, ads, bills payments, and packages every year (Sales and Associate Handbook 1-1). On the other hand, the Army’s mission is to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. The Army also helps with natural disasters, providing security for events. Both government occupations provide great benefits, job security, and little training. The two jobs are

USPS should gradually replace their aging delivery vehicles with hybrid or electric vehicles to reduce delivery costs and dependency on gas. A hybrid vehicle not only saves the Postal Service 32-40% on fuel costs (roughly $1200/car/year based on 30k miles), depending on the vehicle, but USPS would also receive a $3,000 tax incentive on every vehicle. In cities, electric vehicles or SMART cars could be used since delivery routes are shorter with frequent stops. Aside from being fuel efficient, they adhere to the ever stricter emissions rules. With well over 200,000 postal vehicles currently in the system, savings would approach the $1billion mark.

In today’s society the technology of smartphones, tablets, and the easy access to social media has changed the way people connect. This has affected the United States Postal Service tremendously in the way people are choosing to pay their bills and send emails to each other on the internet instead of sending a post card. This has left USPS with many problems, which people believe that the Postal Service does not want to become a part of the digital communication, but that is not the case. The biggest problem as to why the Postal Service cannot be a part of the digital communication trend is because of the difficulty’s that they are facing with U.S. Congress.

No matter what you do with balancing a budget you have to have compromises. Especially when it comes to the national budget. In order for this country to not have a deficit taxpayers are going to have to give in and so will the Federal Government. No one likes to take away jobs or increase taxes but in this day in age something is going to have to give. First I would do away with the U.S. Postal Service. Though they raise money with stamps and other items it still cost on the budget to run the postal service. Today most people hardly use the post office. Most go to private companies like UPS, FedEx, or even DHL for their postal needs. This is true for the U.S. post office; it is a dying institution. Most people are willing to pay extra to have their mail delivered in a few days instead of a week or two. And people that work for the post office have experience and can get hired into a private postal service. With other defense civil programs, I know that this will take away military personnel’s pensions. But most people I know that served invest in retirement funds. So when they retire from the military they are making a lot of money just off of their retirement fund and they have their military pensions. Most individuals don’t serve 20 years as well. I think teaching military personnel to invest their money is a smarter idea than the government just giving them money. As for the Earned Income Credit (EIC) you are encouraging people to have more kids in order

As electronic mail and new technologies start to become more popular, the demand for the services of the United States Postal Service decreases. People tend to favor the convenience of instant messaging rather than spending the time to physically write out a measly letter. Because of this drastic change, the flow of total mail volume and USPS workers has gone down over the past decade. This loss has affected the USPS and in turn affects the service consumers receive from them. However, in order to make up for the loss of revenue in these desperate times, the USPS should begin to consider restructuring its company.

Nowadays, a majority of people use online forms of mail, but the United States Postal Service is still used to send bill statements, letters, and packages. The USPS has been utilizing the same form of delivering mail for hundreds of years which is why many people say that this certain branch of government should be restructured to fit the needs of modern times. The postal service needs to be restructured in order to minimize the finances of the economy and make the environment a sustainable world for future generations to live in.

Ed O’Keefe’s article claimed that “the mail volume will never return to pre-recession levels.” E-mails lead to this drop because of their fast and efficient services that the USPS can also do but in a longer amount of time. Therefore, it can be reasonably inferred that the USPS lost many employees along the way because of this decline. Additionally, when changes are placed in order, delivery days will be cut back and as a result, there will be longer delivery times. Furthermore, prices for stamps will escalate and will be potential layoffs in the future. As a solution, in David Stone’s article, he proposes that the USPS should increase their services to seven days a week. Stone states, “Considering tightening hours, but the USPS could be the first carrier to reliably deliver all week.” With this proposition, mail volume will potentially increase in size. Delivery time of packages will decrease and the USPS will retain and attract more customers because of the faster delivery

In today’s modern age of digital media and instant access, the United States Postal Service (USPS) is on the verge of extinction. Being one of the oldest and most revered governmental entities, the USPS is an institution that is lack in today’s modern society. The United States Postal Service is struggling to keep up with the times and remain relevant in the face of all of the new technologies out there.

The United States Postal Service, created in 1775, has advanced the way Americans communicate. It has expanded the boundaries of communication, by making it much more efficient across the country. Mailing has been the fastest way to communicate and send important documents to people all over the world. Although the USPS has met the needs of fast communication for centuries, todays world has new technologies to offer, to survive the USPS must offer new systems of mailing and cut out unnecessary expenses, to survive in the changing modern world.

“Many of us may not realize that what we now call snail mail was once just as revolutionary as e-mail and text messages are today.” Today’s generation may not be quite aware of the long journey Americans have traveled from the Postal Age up to what we now call the Information Age. As an examination of the rise of the American postal system in the middle decades of the 19th century, David M Henkin’s, The Postal Age offers up a fascinating blend of intellectual and thematic history. In his book, Henkin highlights new practices and new expectations as ordinary Americans swiftly turned something novel into something normal-into habit, into culture.

The U.S Postal Service is authorized by U.S.C. Title 39. The Postal Service was authorized by the Constitution and enacted by Congress, supported by the people. The Postal Service was designed to provide mail services to connect the people by personal and business correspondence, and education literary. It is responsible for providing its citizens fast, consistent, and proficient service. The cost of operating the U.S Postal service shall not be more that its service to its customers.

UPS faced a variety of problems in the near future. UPS had to consider how to develop and grow it’s technology and information services, in order to remain competitive in the market. With that challenge, UPS had to face the challenge of balancing its intent to develop and promote from within, with the need to advance quickly using outside resources. Along a similar vein, UPS struggled with the strategic problem of how to grow their air services business. UPS has to consider whether or not to continue contracting air services from other suppliers, or to acquire another firm. Acquiring another firm would cause UPS to deal with even more problems with cultural integration. Overall, UPS was dealing with the strategic
