-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(OPEN):
WITH CONGRESS DEBATING LEGISLATION THAT COULD DRASTICALLY OVERHAUL THE
U-S POSTAL SERVICE, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LETTER
CARRIERS PRESIDENT, FREDRIC ROLANDO, SAYS SUCH A SHAKEUP
WOULD COST JOBS IN MANY OTHER INDUSTRIES--AND WOULD HARM AMERICA'S
OVERALL-ECONOMY...
(ROLANDO):
"THE POSTAL SERVICE IS THE CORNERSTONE OF THE NATION'S
MAILING-INDUSTRY--WHICH REPRESENTS ONE-POINT-THREE-TRILLION
DOLLARS, EACH YEAR, AND SUPPORTS ABOUT NINE-MILLION AMERICAN-JOBS
IN SUCH FIELDS AS DIRECT-MAIL, PRINTING, CATALOG-PRODUCTION,
PAPER-MANUFACTURING, AND FINANCIAL-SERVICES. IN ADDITION, BECAUSE
AMERICA'S MAIL-SYSTEM IS THE LEAST-EXPENSIVE AND MOST-EFFICIENT IN THE
INDUSTRIALIZED-WORLD, IT PROVIDES CRITICAL-SERVICES TO OUR
SMALL-BUSINESSES--WHICH PRODUCE TWO-THIRDS OF ALL NEW-JOBS.
DISMANTLING THE POSTAL SERVICE WOULD THREATEN EXISTING-JOBS, AND HARM
EFFORTS TO CREATE JOBS IN THE FUTURE--JUST WHAT AMERICA DOESN'T NEED
NOW."
