Washington, D.C. – Following the announcement of new Postmaster General David Steiner, the Package Coalition issued a statement from Chairman John McHugh:
"The Package Coalition welcomes David Steiner to his new role as Postmaster General and looks forward to collaborating with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to ensure it continues to deliver mail and packages together to all Americans six days a week through an integrated delivery network.
We encourage the new leadership team to take a fresh look at the current Delivering For America plan, under which financial losses have grown and service has deteriorated. Ensuring the independence and financial viability of USPS and maintaining reliable and affordable access to postal services are crucial. It is our hope that the new leadership recognizes the importance of public-private partnerships, which have proven effective in reducing costs, improving efficiency, and enhancing service performance.”
