March 30, 2009, 9:45pm (report abuse)This does not go far enough. Local USPS Vehicle Maintenance Facilities have highly skilled technicians and support staff that perform work everyday.
Local management in the Central Florida District (now Sun Coast) make unauthorized arrangements for auto repair that far exceed the cost for a postal employee auto technican to do the same work.
During February 2009 alone, enough money was wasted by contracting out over $120K of auto repairs in ONE Vehicle Maintenance Facility alone. This equals hiring 20 full time postal employees.
Rewrite the bill to remove local arrangements that management makes with auto garages which cost the postal service huge sums.
