USPS to relocate some Lehigh Valley operations

snip> Andrew Kubat, president of the local APWU, in a letter to The Morning Call in November, warned that all mail, even letters sent between Lehigh Valley locations, would be shipped to Harrisburg.

“If this change is made, a letter going from your house to the neighbor next door will travel across the state and back before being delivered. Does that sound efficient?” Kubat wrote.

Louis DeJoy and his underlings are still screwing up the USPS. DeJoy should have been fired by June 2021, but he's still in charge. Now, a letter from West Bethlehem will go to Harrisburg, then back to South Bethlehem... a 170 mile round trip. And still the Biden administration won't get rid of DeJoy!
