The U.S. Postal Service is set to close nearly 3,700 locations beginning in January.
The closures would affect almost every state and the Washington area, where dozens of post offices would close— from those servicing Congress in the U.S. Capitol to some in Leesburg. Rural, suburban and urban post offices would go.
The Postal Service hopes to save $200 million a year with the closures. But the plans are likely to trigger a battle with postal unions, local communities and members of Congress, who have slowed down proposed closures in the past. Donahoe said as many as 4,500 jobs are at risk, although employees would be able to apply for other positions within the Postal Service.
Included in the list of closings, locations in the U.S. Capitol. Last minute Christmas shipments of Capitol Christmas ornaments will now have to take place off campus.
