League President: Delivery Unit Optimization being implemented “at break neck speed”
TweetFrom the League of Postmaster’s President’s Message:
Delivery Unit Optimization (DUO) is being implemented at break neck speed and by Tuesday a new Power Point presentation will be on the web site. Review it, learn it and train other Postmasters on it. There are many impacts with DUO; pay, Postmaster level and the future of some Post Offices are at stake. In its original design DUO was to maximize the use of clerk resources with a secondary benefit of better use of existing building space. We want to make sure that as it rolls out across the country it does not mutate into another program that does not benefit Postmasters, the Postal Service or its customers and further jeopardizes universal service.

When my office was DUO’d, the POOM said it was because of safety reasons, that my office was too crowded. But I knew that was a flat-out lie because we never even had an accident. Later I was told by the postmaster who gained my routes, that the POOM told him he took the routes out of the office because when I retire, he wants to convert it into a finance station. It’s a sad day when the POOM lies to your face.

While this system may make sense to the people making decisions from headquarters, but do they have any real knowledge about local information for additional travel time and mileage for carriers? I would say NO. While no official notice has been given, my office has been “rumored” to be included in my district for DUO. The changes suggested make no logistical sense whatsoever. My carrier travel time would increase by nearly a full hour daily, and more during heavy season. How would this save any money? How is this efficient?
