SOUTH CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) — The U.S. Postal Service on Tuesday said they will be modernizing their facility in South Charleston and turning it into a local processing center with “no career employee layoffs.”
According to a press from the USPS, $22.8 million will be invested into the Charleston Processing and Distribution Center to turn it into a local processing center. They say the “mail processing outgoing operations” will be moved to Pittsburgh and Warrendale, Pennsylvania.
They say this should “result in expanded and streamlined package and mail processing and distribution capabilities for the facility.”
Tim Holstein, Vice President of APWU Local 133, said in part, “While it is to no surprise the regurgitated language specified in this release seems to be positive, postal employees across the United States know otherwise.”
The facility’s state has been in limbo for a few months now. The USPS conducted a Mail Processing Facility Review to determine if they would consolidate the Charleston location to an out-of-state location like Pittsburgh or Warrendale.
I’m pretty much done with the USPS, tired of paying late fees for letters they lost. I pay my bills by phone now, that way I know they got paid on time.
Then stamps go to $1.00 ea !!! no doubt
I pay ALL my bills by phone.
