A recent USPS report on quarterly performance shows a decrease in on-time deliveries for first class mail.
Two-day delivery has dropped by 10% compared to this time last year. Three- to five-day delivery performance fell by nearly 24%.
The Southern California division was the bright spot with the highest two-day performance in the country - 89.5% on time delivery.
Earlier this week, U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy admitted the numbers
aren’t good right now while testifying to Congress recently.
The USPS is currently trying to get its finances in order, having lost $69 billion dollars in the last eleven years.
Mark Dimondstein, head of the American Postal Workers union, worries what the changes could mean.

Jim Cooper that he would be in this job for a long time. Get used to me.
