UPMA HQ received this official notification of the S&DCs initiative today. Since May, UPMA has been discussing with the Postal Service to answer the many questions we have about the impact on service and Postmaster jobs with this part of the DFA plan. Unfortunately, there are few answers, and UPMA is very concerned about the implementation going forward. Look for more communication in the coming days and at our National Convention. I believe that Together We Can minimize the impact on Postmaster jobs and refine this (and other) initiatives that may lay ahead of the service if we all stay engaged and fully informed.
