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.
Key points
Private contractors can choose to keep operating contract postal units even if USPS decides to end their agreement, under specific conditions.
USPS will generally not be obligated to pay these contractors for continued operation, unless the Postmaster General deems it appropriate.
The aim is to prevent the closure of postal units and maintain public access to postal services.
