NY Metro APWU press release:

Long lines anticipated at New York’s James A. Farley Station

It has been customary over the years to see long lines at the James A. Farley Post Office on tax day. This year was no exception. Unfortunately, long lines at the windows at the JAF, or the main post office, as most New Yorkers refer to it will be commonplace. On Saturday, April 28, 2007, the USPS is reducing sales associates at the windows at JAF from its current complement of 69 down to only 49. This is a facility that is open 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. Compounding the negative impact of this decision by postal management is the fact that on Monday May 14, 2007 there will be a hike in postal rates, which will only exacerbate an already difficult situation

With the passage Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006, the public was lead to believe that the USPS would now be able to meet its needs in the 21 century and be competitive.

Clarice Torrence, President of the New York Metro Area Postal Union has stated that the USPS has the contractual right to make staffing changes, no matter how shortsighted they seem. She stated that her union is challenging these proposed changes through the grievance procedure.

It is hoped that postal management will realize its error, understand its responsibility to meet the needs of the public and return the staffing necessary to its full complement.
