Postal Service Cuts Jobs and Redirects Alabama Mail
U S Postal Service will route all mail between North Alabama towns through Birmingham next year eliminating Decatur as the northwest Alabama sorting center. About 15 Decatur Post Office jobs will be eliminated with transfers offered and attrition used for the remainder.
