There doesn’t seem to be much common ground between major mailers and some postal employees, especially APWU members. But here’s something both groups would probably agree on- Lawrence Buc’s suggestion, in rate case testimony on behalf of the DMA, that the USPS probably has too many supervisors:

According to the Postal Service, Cost Reduction Programs enable it to save 9,951.1 clerk and mailhandler workyears in FY 2006 through what the Postal Service labels as Section 1A programs. Cost reduction programs also enable it save 8,955.9 clerk and mailhandler workyears in these programs in FY 2007, and 5,106.4 clerk and mailhandler workyears in the Test Year. However, the Postal Service claims that these truly impressive savings in craft labor will not enable it to save even a single supervisor workhour in any of these three years.
