House Panel Approves Ending Saturday Mail Delivery
A House of Representatives panel on Wednesday approved a bill that would end Saturday mail delivery by the U.S. Postal Service and establish a process that could lead to worker layoffs at the cash-strapped agency.
The Postal Service has seen mail volumes plummet in recent years as more customers send email and pay bills online.
The agency has said it needs to reduce payrolls by about 220,000 by 2015 and is studying thousands of post offices and about 300 processing facilities for possible closure.
