Three things that the Postal Service needs to be able to do in order to be a viable ongoing enterprise in the future: First, they just have more people than they need on active duty, if you will; second, they have more post offices than they need, and they would like to be able to collocate services in a number of communities to provide better service, not less service; and, third, they want to be able to close some of their distribution sites.
