PMG Says "Mail Works" at National Postal Forum
"Others wondered whether the giant Postal
Service could become more businesslike, whether
we could become service and customer oriented,
whether we could become more productive each
year, whether we could find a way to work
collaboratively, both internally and externally.
Well, the results speak for themselves:
- High levels of end-to-end service
performance
- High levels of customer satisfaction
- Elimination of $11 billion in debt
- Productivity increases 6 years in a row -
which is unprecedented
- A reduction of over 100,000 career
positions during that time
- Improved labor relations, and Great
customer participation "
