Post Office exemption enables continued mail service
Washington AP reports the House passed a bill exempting Post Office employees from a government-wide staffing cut. Without the carve out, mail deliveries could end Saturday and service would shrink nationwide, though the Washington header office and regional offices would remain staffed. Responding to workload concerns, Postmaster General Watson urged protection from the mandate, warning four day service would follow if not granted. Congress exempted the Postal Service, attaching the exemption to a separate bill criminalizing assaults on post office workers.
