The US postal service is looking for a summer of increase in rates that includes walking for the cost of a first class seal of 73 cents to 78 cents.
The application was made on Wednesday to the Postal Regulatory Commission, which must be well the proposal. If approved, the increase of 5 cents for a seal “forever” and similar increases for postcards, measured letters and international mail would enter into force on July 13.
The postal service argues that, as it did last year, it promulgated a similar increase, which is necessary to achieve financial stability.
The former General Master of EE. UU., Louis Dejy, previously warned postal clients who get used to “uncomfortable” rates ascents as the postal service seeks to be self -sufficient. He said the price increases were exceeded after “at least 10 years of a defective price.”
Dejy resigned in March after almost five years in the position, leaving when President Donald Trump’s governmental efficiency and Elon Musk had carried out the idea of privatizing the mail service.
The Deputy Director General of Correos Doug Tulino has tasks about the role of the general postal administrator until the Board of Governors of the Postal Service appoints a permanent replacement for Dejoy.
Trump has said that he is considering putting the control of USPS under the control of the Department of Commerce in an effort to stop losses in the agency of $ 78 billion a year, which has sometimes fought to balance the books with the decrease in first class mail.
