The U.S. Postal Service, amidst plummeting revenues and decreasing mail volume, has proposed a plan to withdraw its employees from the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, according to a Washington Post report.
The move would withdraw 480,000 pensioners and 600,000 active employees and would place them in a program administered by the USPS, the report said.
Bills previously introduced in Congress that would have workers pay more for health benefits were met with opposition from federal employee organizations.
