Contractors can keep operating postal units even if USPS ends agreements
New rules allow private contractors to continue running contract postal units even if the U.S. Postal Service decides to terminate their agreements. This means citizens might retain access to postal services in these locations, potentially preventing closures and ensuring continued convenience, especially in smaller communities.
