PMG Message on 'State of the USPS'

PMG Pat Donahoe characterizes his latest message to employees as “a general overview on the state of our business.”

During the video, Donahoe brings employees up to date on several topics. Among them is the strategy to keep nation’s smaller Post Offices open for business. He also discusses the importance of Political Campaign Mail and Election Mail.

Donahoe thanks employees for their hard work, which has resulted in record serviceperformance during the past two fiscal quarters. And he points to the encouraging growth of the package business — helped in part by employee commitment to upgrading scanning performance.

The PMG reviews the progress of postal legislation, noting that action in the House isn’t likely until after the November elections. He also assures viewers that “employees will be paid and our suppliers and vendors will be paid,” in spite of the Postal Service’s financial problems.
“There’s still quite a bit of noise out there on our finances,” he says, noting that employees can’t control those outside messages. He says instead, they should focus on what they can control — “doing the best job you can possibly do.”
Above all, Donahoe says, he’s proud of the record levels of service and scanning performance that employees have achieved, and he urges them to maintain it. “Keep up the great work,” he concludes.
