First class volume less than 50% of ten years ago, and that number was 15% lower than 1998, so first class volume is off nearly 70% over the last 15 years and this is the first business adjustment beyond rate and subsidy increases. I just get tingly all over thinking about the percieved effective spending of taxpayer dollars, and the arguments for more programs with similar likelihood of success. I don't care for the Postal Workers Union but my experience is the unions strength is dependent on management enablers. In this case, as with most public sector unions, the managers, as employees of a GSE, never saw the money running out, and therefore had little incentive to hold the line at the bargaining tables. That speaks to the success, measured in growth and profitability, of a company like UPS, also heavily unionized, but responsibly managed.
