US Postal Service Faces Cash Crisis
In addition to the pension suspension, the USPS has proposed a 5% increase in the price of first-class stamps, which would rise to 82 cents in July.
The agency is also implementing new surcharges on packages as it struggles to cope with rising operational costs.
These moves are part of a broader restructuring plan aimed at staving off financial collapse.
Critics have expressed concern that the changes will lead to slower mail delivery and higher costs for consumers and small businesses.
