MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The United States Postal Service announced today it would suspend changes like removing equipment and collection boxes until after the November election. Many believe the changes are causing a slow down of mail service, including here in Memphis.

The announcement from the Postmaster General came after 20 states announced plans to file federal lawsuits.

Representative Steve Cohen stood outside the downtown Memphis Post Office with union leaders representing postal employees to explain what they say is going on. Across the country, there have been reports of sorting machines and mail collection boxes being removed.

2. Right!

3. With no overtime, it won't take long for the mail to back up big time!

They will need more than a day or two to clean it up. The damage has already been done.

4. You are right!

Even prior to this trumputin mess, mail service has bn awful here. It has bn common for the couple of years I have lived in this region for packages to sit in the Memphis usps facility for 7-10 days. Regularly.

I've read online that people have complained, an investigation was done and, surprise, nothing to see here. Who knows how long this really has bn going on?
