Description: The Postal Service typically sees its best financial results in the first quarter of each fiscal year. That’s because of the year-end holiday season and sometimes a surge in political mail. But USPS is starting this fiscal year with a $1.3 billion net loss. It posted a rare net profit for the same period last year. The American Postal Workers Union says USPS should focus on affordable services and improved service to win back customers. Federal News Network’s Jory Heckman spoke with APWU President Jonathan Smith.
