Consolidation of Mail Processing Operations From Hazelton, Pennsylvania, to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania

An audit was requested of the U.S. Postal Service's (USPS) plan to consolidate the mail processing operations of the Hazelton, Pennsylvania, Post Office and 37 other associate post offices. The proposed move includes consolidation of operations to process both ongoing and incoming mail. The economic justification for the consolidation was reviewed and its impact on mail service and affected USPS employees were also examined.
